I have taken Cali through all of the obedience classes in her BuddyBelt with no problems. In the ring at a trial I use martingale because you must use a collar there. Other than that she is alway in a harness. BTW she has been very successful in the ring. I will always protect that trachea!
Don't let them bully you in the obedience classes. You know what is best for your dog and they can learn with a harness or a collar. Collars Re more important for big dogs that need to be restrained etc.
