Trying to choose whether to walk your dog in a harness or collar? Let’s look at a few things regarding your dog. First, what breed do you own? If you own large dog like the Labrador Retriever then a collar may suffice for walking unless your Labrador is known for slipping out of his collar or he tends to pull more with a collar in which case walking him on a harness would probably be best. If you own a small dog like the Yorkie or Pomeranian then you should consider a harness. Not only will the harness hold your dog better and prevent him or her from slipping out, but the harness is also safer on the little bodies. Pomeranians, for instance, have been known to have their trachea collapse when a collar is used for walking. The Pommie tends to pull and while you may not intend to, you may pull back a little too much. Learn more here or call your pet clinic Cameron Park, CA.
