• Alexis Posted : 4/21/2006 9:33:39 AM Is it for around the house or for when you are walking?  My tzu has a harness for our walks, I like it a lot better.  I feel that if he jerks me for whatever reason I am not pulling on his small neck.  He likes his harness.  Around the house he has his collar on.  I even turned my friend on to a harness for her boston.[] 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Firestorm Posted : 4/21/2006 9:51:44 AM He has a collar for home and I was thinking about getting a harness.  Do you have any suggestions on what types would be good?  He will be doing obedience in his collar.  We are starting that in a couple weeks.  Should be fun.  But I figured for fun walks to get a harness. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• RileysMommy Posted : 4/21/2006 10:54:41 AM Riley is a Maltese/Poodle mix and he wears a harness on his walks and a collar full time.  His neck is 9" around and I found that he was beginning to choke with me using a leash on his collar ... albeit he was not heeling properly ... so I switched to a step in harness (padded) and it has made such a drastic difference.  He even began heeling with the harness and now walks with me like a champ.  If you'd like the link to where I got the harness pm me and I'll send it along. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Alexis Posted : 4/21/2006 10:59:37 AM I got Charlie his harness at Petsmart over 2.5 years ago and it is still going strong.  It is the standard one I think! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Mic Posted : 4/21/2006 11:03:31 AM For walking I would use the easy walk harness, and for training I would use a flat buckle collar.    I would recommend that your dog wear a collar with tags on it not matter what you decide. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Kate Posted : 4/21/2006 11:24:13 AM Lana wears both a harness and a colar for walking/going out.  Her colar is so she has tags on.  She wears nothing when we're at home.   Lana's harness is a nylon step in type.  Looks like this [linkhttp://www.kristalas.com/harnesses/697_698adjustable.htm]http://www.kristalas.com/harnesses/697_698adjustable.htm[/link] (sorry don't know how to make that shorter).  I've tried the regular ones but never found one that fit her nicely.  It was either too big or if we went one size down, rubbing on the back of her legs.    0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
