Thanks YT I don't post too often, but I am on YT at least once a day reading many posts. I have read often that if your yorkie gets away from you, not to chase him, but to get them to run and follow you. That information probably saved Murphy's life today.
Murphy was on his leash outside an indoor dog park that I take him to every Saturday. Well, somehow Murphy's harness came off over his head and he was free!
Thankfully a few people were outside and they tried to call him over. He ran past them and started to go down the road. He was headed for a 4 lane highway! I remember the advise and called his name. He stopped and I ran in the opposite direction. He started to follow me! After a few more minutes someone caught him when he followed me into the dog park. Murphy is fine, but I still haven't recovered.
Murphy has been wearing this harness for 2 weeks. (He chewed through a regular harness.) I can't believe he was able to get out of it. There is Velcro and a clasp by the neck and around the waist. Any suggestions on a harness that is escape proof and he cannot grab the straps and chew?
