best harness

[Lora9584]

Ok our first purchase is going to be a harness. Haylee does good outside but if she hears a noise at all she takes off. She is only 8 weeks well almost 9 weeks old and can move like the wind. What is everyones favorite harness for puppies? While I want one that is very cute I also want to get one that is comfy for her too. I can't wait until she is big enough to wear some cute clothes and barrettes. Guess I had better start saving my money huh. Also Graff needs a new harness or collar soon also.

It is so much fun to go shopping for these little furbabies.. There certainly are alot of options when it comes to harnesses. For me I like the ones that are like clothing and functional at the same time. I offer some on my website if you would like to take a look. www.******************.com These are all I use on my furkids. Have fun on your search and post pics of Haylee when you get her new harness...

I also sell harnesses: http://www.tinkerbellscloset.com/ . Most of mine are $12 with the YT discount. I can line them in satin to keep them from mating your dogs hair or fleece to help keep them warm in the winter. I can also add a d-ring to almost any of my dresses or coats to turn them into a harnesses. I have attached some pictures below. I always enjoy dressing up my dogs and I think harnesses are a fun way to keep it functional yet cute!

I know your yorkie is small, but for anyone with a bigger yorkie or one that pulls hard, I like these:

I saw that they had them for small as well... But I think they are a bit pricey..
Our Destiny pulls like crazy whenever we go for a walk for about the first 15 minutes. It was because of her that I started really reinforcing my harnesses.

Joy,

When it comes to their safety, I don't consider $30 pricey, especially since it would probably last a lifetime or close to it if it was necessary.

How do yours connect? Is it velcro or what? I would love to put a pretty little harness on mine, but safety is my primary concern. Muffin was a bigger yorkie and so is Kacee...

[Joy]

Hi, yes they are attached by velcro and when I first started using it believe me I had my concerns.. I never knew velcro could be that sturdy and that secure. Truelly I am impressed with that stuff.. I also agree about the safety issues..
We took all three of our pups for a walk one day and a big Pitbull ran toward us.. I was scared to death. So, I pulled up on the leashes, and all you could see were these 3 Yorkies flying through the air.. I couldnt get them in my arms fast enough. So, I know that the velcro works very well and feel very comfortable and know my furkids are safe..Which like you said is my primary concern..

[yorkieusa]

But aren't your yorkies small one's, Joy? As I said, I've only had bigger yorkies. That's what I was asking also.

[Joy]

Oh, Im sorry.. I missed that..
Yes, my Yorkies all weigh around 5 to 6lbs. But... I have sold many of my harnesses to larger Furbabies and Have only heard good things. I even have a lady with a pug and she only uses my harnesses. The only way that I know that the harness comes undone is if the velcro was not attached straight when the harness was put on. Other than that they hold "very" well for all sizes.. How big is Kacee?

I have an 8 pound maltese that I have ripped up into my arms as well while she was wearing a harness that I made, fastened with velcro. They do stick like glue. I have had a few other people ask me to do rather large ones for their 10-15 pounders, I was apprehensive at first and did express my concerns to the first person who wanted the harness. She said to go ahead with it and she'd try it out. Well, she emailed me later on to tell me that it did hold very well. Now, I did use a strong fabric with no stretch to it, not just plain cotton or flannel, and used mega hold velcro just to be sure, but it does hold well.

We have lots of people here who sell great stuff for our dogs, shanatink, joy, myself, imapreciouspup and a few others, I can't remember. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. And most of us offer discounts to YT members! Congratulations on your new puppy!

Kacee is at 7.2 lbs right now and is 5.5 months old. I'd love to put one of your type harnesses on her, but I doubt is she's through growing yet.

[Shanatink]

I agree about the safety. I use long velcro straps that are at least an inch wide. But when it comes to the safety of your dog, I wouldnt compromise at all. I think you have to do whatever feels the safest and definetly money isnt an issue as our furbabies are priceless. I think those mesh type harnesses look very comfortable and safe for the dogs.

They are generally $14.99 and I offer a 20% discount. SO the $12 price is after you take off the 20%. Sorry for the confusion. To get the discount you just enter the coupon code YT20 during the checkout.

Just to put mine out there as well... I have harnesses ranging in prices from $10.00 to $15.00 ... These prices include the Tax and the Shipping...
