I now change his collar after every bath.

For harness, we're now trying a buddy belt. He's only used it a few times. I like it. The leather hasn't chafed or caused rope burn like a nylon harness has in the past. He's a major puller, and this harness so far has been nice to his skin. Plus he's getting better at walking calmly in large crowds.

I also wanted to clarify something about breakaway collars as some people question their purpose. In the year Kaji has been using breakaways it has fallen off only twice. Once when he was being naughty in the kitchen trying to get into the trash. He got caught on a handle and the collar fell off instead of choking him. The other time he was in the car; something spooked him, he completely flipped out and somehow managed to get the collar stuck on the handbreak. In everyday wear, they stay on perfectly. They hold his tags, and bell. The breakaway is just in case he gets stuck on something. Just like the tags are just in case he gets lost, and the microchip is in case he gets stolen.

Where did you find the breakaway collars?
