Yorkie chewing up Haulters I have a Yorkie who is 6 months old. I have had him 2 months and since that time he has chewed up two nylon haulters. One has two arm straps that run under the arms from the front and snap between the shoulder blades and the other one strap that ran between the legs and branched to two straps that ran around the trunk and snapped behind the shoulders. I have tried repeated spraying the front of the haulters Bitter Apple to deter him from chewing but to no effect.
I have heard that regular collars increase the incidence of collaspe trachea and I am hesitant for that reason to change him to one however I can't keep buying halters every few weeks and a leather haulter will likely be outgrown.
I used a leather collar on my previous Yorkie and he never had a problem. Of course I didn't jerk on it and neighter did he and I never lifeted him with it on.
I live in an apt. complex so I take him out on a leash to potty.
Any suggestions? |
