Many experts recommend a body halter for puppies rather than a collar because it gives better protection of the delicate bones and tissues of the puppy’s neck. A halter is designed in such a way that it allows equal distribution of the pressure that is exerted on the body of the animal when the puppy pulls on his leash. When wearing a collar, the pressure exerted by the collar on the neck can have undesirable effects on the delicate tissues. Also, a collar can easily slip off the neck of the puppy especially when it is not securely fastened or it does not fit properly.
The H-harness is a type of body halter that is often recommended for puppies. It is designed like a letter H, thus the name. The two ends of the letter form 2 circles around the chest of the puppy and around the base of the neck.
There is also the more expensive jacket and vest harness that is designed with Velcro straps and a soft lining.
