She had been using a mesh harness vest for walks, but the shoulder harness is much, much better. I ordered hers from pawtreasures.com. The prices begin at $15.99, and go up according to the size you need. This is about 1/2 the price of the other sellers I found. The non-metallic leather that I ordered is very good quality, soft leather. I'm so happy I found it. I'm sure you would enjoy one on your dog, too. It does run true to size, too. I measured her at 17 inches girth and ordered 18
inches, but should have gotten the 17".....never the less, I'm happy with it. Oh, and the shipping was just $3.50. They have quite an array of colors and finishes, but we just got the plain red leather. |
So, after reading every one's replies and being even more confused... then Yorkiedaze.
Do you collar... or don't you collar...???
Well, I think I might go with the "ChokeFree" Harness for walking and the collar for the name tags and of course she will be Micro-chipped.
Thank you, "Annabelle's Mom" for trying out the ChokeFree and sending your feed back. It's was nice to see a message from you, but I just couldn't figure out how to find my original thread, to send a reply, until today (heheh). I "Was" a Newbie... But now I'm a "Yorkie Talker" it just took me some time to figure this site out... I Love It!
So anyway...
I'm home 24-7 so I will be able to watch her like a hawk. I live on the 2nd. floor of a Condo and I don't have the dilemma with bushes in my yard. Our grounds are full of grass and ivy plants (which she will not be going into because Ivy is poisonous) but she can play in the grass. I will be with her at all times... when her little feet touch the ground.
My 2 cats both wear break-away collars and I leave them so loose that I never have to even unsnap them to take them off for their daily bushing's. They are so big I can just pull them off over their fat little heads. They wear them like a necklace and hate it when I take them off.
So... I will try different things... since dogs are so different then cats.
I'm glad I got some feed back on them and it makes me really think.
