My trainer doesn't let us use harnasses at all, because you have no control in teaching them to walk correctly, without pulling or tugging. I was afraid at first too, knowing about the trachea issue, but the way you pull up toward the chin doesn't cause harm. Max is a great walker now. It just takes practice. Like yorkie luv of 3 said, when they learn properly you can switch back to the harness if you want. Also, since he's used to the harness, the feel of the collar and leash will take some getting used to and may be bothersome to him at first. Good Luck |
