I'm going through this too. I used the harness on Bella for probably the first 4 classes. When we began teaching come, I did switch her to a collar. I was worried about it because I didn't want to hurt her and sometimes I did feel like I was dragging her.
After a couple of light pops on the collar, they learn quickly and it wasn't necessary anymore to 'pop' her on the collar. As long as you're gentle about it, you're not going to hurt them. |
