bunjee wears a harness for walking and a collar for training, per the trainer's recommendation. i would agree that using a collar for training is much better than using a harness. especially when practicing loose leash walking. use of a harness can encourage pulling or dragging and gives the puppy less incentive to be responsive to commands like "leave it". however, it is important to be careful when using a collar vs. a harness due to the collapse trachea issue.

but overall, you need to do what you are most comfortable with. so good luck!
