These little dogs have so many problems with trachea problems that they need a harness on them when you leash them. I get so bummed out whenever i read of anyone walking there dog with a regular -(go around the neck) leash. Oh- so much harm to the little dogs trachea. -we have a little one with collapsing trachea issues so we know first hand. Ditch the around the neck collars and go for the harness type- you can find at petsmart. they are about 15.00 each but is your dog's trachea worth it? YOU BET!
