With the collars, I use a leather spiked collar for him inside.
On regular walks downtown or on some other place where there are some people I use his martingale collar cause he pulls then but if there aren't many people and I let him run around I use his nylon harness.
I dont like to always use a harness cause then he starts pulling so much.

I have a martingale collar for him like this one and I love it ! It is not so tight that he hurts his throat I have it in that size so he doesnt hurt of it , but when he pulls it gets real tight but it does not choke him or anything

Isnt it OK to use a martingale on yorkies? I've heard about those trachea proplems, he doesnt have that proplem I've always used normal collars and martingales since I got him and his breeder with his dogs too, no yorkie breeder here uses harnesses but also they dont walk theyr yorkies on leash often, my breeder uses martingale collars but they are made of nylon, Fido's martingale is made of chain.


What kind of collars or harnesses do you all use and like the best?
What do you all reccomand for pullers?
All collars choke when hooked to a leash and just because right now your dog is not showing signs of trachea problems it very well may in the future. Dogs tend not to pull when a collar is being warn because it hurts there necks and chokes them. All it takes is some training when on the harness and they will not pull and there neck will be safe!
