Because yorkies have weak tracheas and the collars fit right around the area where the trachea is located, whereas harnesses don't...The pulling and tugging a yorkie does when on leash, if wearing a collar, can injure the trachea; thus, the coughing, gagging sounds so many experience when their puppies wear a collar.
