He doesn't ever pull on that leash since it's so long and I just walk along with him. He
is also a bigger boy, at 14lbs, so his neck is a bit tougher than a 4lb Yorkie. I still
worry about it though so I prefer using a harness over a collar. |
Yep, this is exactly what I was trying to say. Sophie is 8 lbs. and a bit more meaty. Before I knew better we used the collar/leash and had no troubles. That's why i continue to use it for potty breaks only. For the walks and whatever else we do she is always in a harness. Thank goodness for YT or I'd not have learned that. Even at Puppy School she was on a collar/leash and no one ever said a word to me about it. There was a guy who was using a choker collar on his English Mastif and he was told about that.
