Donating YT 3000 Club Member | D ring placement I have a question. I see some harnesses have d rings at the bottom of the harness and some on the center of the harness. Does it matter? Is it better control one way?

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | Great question! I'd like to know input in this too. I've always placed mine at the bottom but would like to learn how to do them the other way too.

| Ooops....I moved the d ring to the center on the one vest you made for me Aymee when I altered it. I think I feel as if I have better control of Wallee when it is closer to the middle of his shoulder blades...but I have yet to walk him in it to see. One of the harnesses I had for him when I first got him (similar to a pupia vest) had the d ring in the midle like that. |

| It's prettier to attach it at the bottom but I think it's better to walk them on a harness places in the center.

| I agree, the center placement gives more control and doesn't pull on the neck as much IMO. I'm all a out not pulling on their little necks

| That's exactly how I feel, so for the vests that I make to use for walking they go in the center, but for the stylish dresses that are used for inside pet type events then they go at the waist or I have a button made so a harness can be worn underneath.

even though I prefer the d ring in the center, I did walk Lola in the dress you made, and it worked fine. I think with a dress the bodice might be a little shorter than the harness vests are, so that helps. Also the dress you made had tons of Velcro, which you know I like and you really made the d ring secure so in that instance I think it was fine.
