Instructions for Making a Pig Harness and Lead

MATERIALS:

7 - 9 Feet of heavy fabric cord or webbing
Use non-abrasive material - cotton is better than nylon, as nylon will cut the skin.
Recommended the webbing that is used to make back-packs.
(Available in fabric store). Any heavy fabric cord or cotton rope will do.

1 1/2 inch metal ring
At hardware store or tack shop or use pieces from an old dog collar.

2" Hook
At hardware store or tack shop or use pieces from an old dog collar.

A reminder, don't leave harness on when not in use as it can chafe
the skin and cause hair to rub off, or it could catch on something.

Don't be surprised if your wiggler can squirm out of this harness.
Because of their shape and determination they can get out of
almost any harness model.

Harness Leash Instructions

Harness and leash are made from one continuous piece of cord
and may be adjusted as the pig grows by undoing the knots and
moving the hardware. Cotton webbing or cord should be safe
to launder.

Measure around pig at A. Tie ring to end of cord and make a loop in harness by passing cord through ring. Make this loop the same size of measurement A and tie to ring.
Measure around pig at B. (Fig. 3) Tie hook onto cord at this distance from the ring. (See fig. 1 for more info.)
Tie handhold at end of cord. (Fig. 4). Make the leash part fairly short at first for more control. For Information on harness/lead training see corresponding article in your navigation panel to your right.
