This is an extremely important feature on a tracking harness during long tracks where the dogs need all the help they can get.In fact this is the main difference between an agitation harness. The agitation harness has a padded breast plate to cushion the dog when it hits the end of the line while doing protection work. The dogs need this cushion to absorb some of the shock of a tie out. This breast plate causes too much of an air flow restriction to be used in long police or Search/Rescue tracks. An Tracking harness is also to heavy for long distance tracking.

Stretching for the Canine Athlete
Dog trainers must remember a very important point, and it is that our dogs are canine athletes. They are just like runners, gymnasts, basketball, and football players. We ask them in our training to perform great physical and mental feats. Yet, time and time again, I see trainers teach and practice the specific skills required for competition without building the proper platform on which these skills lay. The platform is physical conditioning. Just as all human athletes know that they must include this as part of their training program, so should we for our canine athletes. Dog owners today are doing so many different activities with their dogs, both competitively and just for fun, that require a high level of physical conditioning. Agility, obedience, tracking, schutzhund, ring sport, herding, flyball, SAR (search and rescue), conformation, the list goes on and on. This is not just taking Rover for a walk in the park; these are athletic sports, and our dogs are the athletes. The difference between a high score and a lower one is often timed in fractions of seconds, or in how fast the dog performs a particular exercise. In addition to speed, concentration and the ability to deal with stress play a role in every dog sport, and these characteristics too can be affected by the physical condition of the dog. Physical conditioning can be broken down into three main areas: strength, endurance, and flexibility. Strength is the ability of the dog's muscles and tendons to bear the load of and move the dog's body. Endurance is the ability for the dog's lungs, muscles, tendons, and other physical systems to work together to sustain activities over longer periods of time. Flexibility is the range of motion allowed by the amount of stretch in the muscles and tendons.
Flexibility
In the dog sport world, flexibility is the most neglected of the three conditioning areas. Working on some simple stretches as part of a warm-up routine prior to any physical activity is an easy way to add flexibility training to your program.
