Just kinda seems like it would be a pain to put a harness on the dog every 30-60 minutes..or no? Please help me with what you guys think! I bought a collar and was planning on just attaching the leash for potty time she'd have a seperate harness for walking of course. |
I wouldn't really. I'm guilty of doing it sometimes in the past for quick potty runs, but even Jackson, who is 15lbs and very sturdy, would gag at even a slight tug on the leash. Ever since he got out of a collar twice, I don't do it anymore. He has a really tiny neck even though he's a 'big' boy and somehow manages to slip out of collars if tugged on the right way. The Puppia harness we have is really easy take on/take off. Or sometimes I'll just leave the harness on him for 2-3 hours.
