My vet recommends using a harness on small dogs. Their neck structures are delicate.
I've been walking Zack with a harness since he was 10 weeks old. (or rather he's been walking me!) It's not an enjoyable experience getting it on him. He's a wiggle worm and I have to bribe him with treats. Once I have the harness on, he doesn't have a problem with it.
I take the harness off when we are back inside the house. |
