The range for assistance dogs
Our promise: to offer every dog the accessory it deserves.
Aesthetically pleasing, functional and durable.
Our story
The Atelier des Toutous adventure was born from a simple conviction:
Dogs deserve accessories that reflect the value they bring to our lives.
It was by observing the lack of equipment truly adapted to the specific needs of dogs, particularly assistance dogs, that we decided to design tailor-made products, thoughtfully designed and tested with professionals .
From the first prototypes to the present day, each creation is the result of encounters with:
- animal osteopaths ,
- dog trainers ,
- assistance dog associations
- and above all, the beneficiaries , who are at the heart of our project .
These are the people who live with their dogs every day, who feel the slightest differences in comfort, support, and maneuverability. Their feedback, their specific needs, and their experiences directly inspire the design of each model.
These exchanges have shaped our expertise: ergonomic , lightweight and functional harnesses, adapted to each body type and each mission.
With us, everything starts with carefully listening to you and your dog.

Frequently Asked Questions
At the workshop, we have chosen to offer only harnesses that are respectful of the dog.
There are several types of harnesses: straight back, X-back, or parallel back . Here is our advice:
- Straight back : This is the classic Y-shape. It allows the chest to be positioned further back , thus freeing the shoulder blade and elbow during walking. It is ideal for dogs that practice light guiding . It is the most versatile and comfortable.
- X-back and parallel back : These shapes are closer to the elbows and allow for better shoulder movement, but are less recommended for prolonged harness wear. An appointment with an osteopath before purchase, and again after receiving the harness, is advised to ensure it is properly adjusted and positioned.
The exact choice will depend on your dog and your needs. Feel free to contact us if you would like personalized advice to find the most suitable harness for your companion.
Measuring your dog requires a little patience and sometimes a helping hand. Use a flexible measuring tape and follow the instructions in the size guide , available on each product page .
This guide includes:
- a size chart
- a detailed diagram with the measurement points to follow
- some handy tips to help you
By referring to this guide, you will be able to choose the most suitable size for your dog's comfort and safety.
Each harness can be customized with numerous options to meet your dog's needs and preferences:
- Harness shapes and buckles adapted
- Rigid or semi-rigid bars depending on the desired support
- Foam sewn in certain places for added comfort
- Linings in soft fabric or imitation leather
- Custom flocking on the bridge or certain straps
- Modifications to existing capes
All these options are grouped in the Options category and can be combined to create a unique harness perfectly suited to your companion.
Yes, absolutely! At the Atelier, we support each owner in finding the most suitable harness.
To do so, please feel free to contact us by email or, preferably, via Instagram , providing us with all the relevant information:
- the dog and its daily tasks
- his education and habits
- whether or not he practices guiding
- your specific needs or medical conditions
For example, for a person with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , we will adapt the shape of the harness, the openings and the buckles in order to relieve joint pain and take into account hypermobility.
We respond with precision and care , so that each harness is perfectly adapted to the comfort, safety and well-being of your companion.
We primarily use BioThane® , a durable and comfortable material for our harnesses.
The linings can be made of foam, imitation leather or soft fabric , and are chosen according to individual needs, particularly in cases of sensory hypersensitivity .
All our buckles are certified and of the highest quality.
The parts requiring reinforcement are machine- stitched, guaranteeing unparalleled strength.
Each element is carefully selected to offer quality, comfort and durability , far exceeding the standards of the competition.
Delivery times may vary throughout the year depending on order volume.
Generally, they last between 4 and 12 weeks maximum. More precise information is always available at the top of the website!
