I would NOT use a collar to attach a leash (and it's probably not a good idea to leave a collar on all the time, you don't want puppy getting it caught on something when you're not home), but they are good for attaching tags when you take them out or a bell so you can find them in the house easier.

They get used to the harnesses...Stella used to HATE hers and try to bite it or roll around to try and get it off, but doing obedience training with her helped since she had to wear it for that and she got treats for walking nicely with it! I think she was almost 5 months before we were "walking nicely" though.

I've heard the Puppia ones are good and easy to get on them when they're wiggling (

you can see them here ) but I didn't want to wait for it to be shipped so I was at Petco and I found a harness which I really like because it doesn't have any raw edges to rub against her skin. Petco also has their own house brand harness, similar to the Puppia ones.

This is the one I have

Hope that helps!
