I'm not sure which harness you're talking about specifically, but it's so scary when they do that! Jackson once got out of his collar (it was, like, 1am, and he had to go out and I didn't put his harness on... stupid me) and as I was pulling the leash for him to come inside, the collar slipped right over his head and he went a runnin' having a grand ole' time. Luckily, food can usually get him back quickly, but I think in this case I opened my car door and said "Wanna go for a ride?" and he came back.
Jackson also got out of a Puppia harness once! I couldn't believe it. I keep them looser and not so tight because I want him to be comfortable, so it's my fault. I was tugging at him again because we had to go inside, and it slipped right off his head! lol. Luckily he didn't go anywhere.
First, sizing is SO important, as I've found out, when it comes to harnesses/collars. For big dogs, you're supposed to be able to put two fingers through it but little dogs, I think it's one finger. Also, coming when called is sooo important. I work with Jackson every day and his recall has become MUCH better! |
