I use a harness. I use it so there isn't any pressure any his neck but more importantly (to me) so I can pull him up quickly for any reason. We were just at the shore and while on a walk Gus stepped into a pile of shells on the street. I could tell it was painful and was able to pull him up before his paws got cut. We really haven't run into any big dogs on our walks but that is the main reason I want to be able to pull him up fast. |
