Unless your dog is going to be competing in weight-pulling sports, harnesses are very, very cruel. A dog’s underarm area is the most sensitive part of it’s body.
A good, tight-fitting pinch collar, placed right before the skull is the most humane way to go. If the dog pulls, snap the pinch & I guarantee it will learn quickly.
Collars don’t damage the trachea unless they are extremely low on the neck. A dog’s neck is the strongest, most resilient part of it’s body.
Harnesses are cruel, as a dog’s underarms are the most sensitive area on it’s body.
Iam pregnant and have a hurting back right now, so I gonna buy one for the youngest dog who can pull sometimes when he´s gonna pee and will pull over to the other side…
Geez the collar is to hold the dog’s ID/Vaccination tags. He doesn’t wear the harness all freaking day. What crawled up your butt?
If the front piece falls down you’re dog may (depends on your dog) be able to get out of the harness. Also if it falls down, it is no longer effective against the pulling. In which case you may as well get a regular harness.
The point of it is to keep the harness from falling down. It puts very little pressure on the collar if at all. If you’re worried about that loosen the color some.
The harness is good for two things. One: it doesn’t damage the trachea. Two: to keep your dog from pulling you.
agreed.
ok, what’s the point of the harness if you are going to use both the collar and harness?
That’s not accurate, the point of the harness is to have less danger of your dog getting chocked and less injury due to pulling against the collar.
