Having seen the trauma that can be caused by collars, I would do ANYTHING I could do to get him to behave using the harness....especially if you are out walking and are attacked by a larger dog...with a halter, you can actually swing your pup up out of harms way without strangling/injuring him....with a collar, he will either slip out of the collar and become "hor d'orve on the hoof", or you will choke him/hang him/really do serious damage to his trachea. You train him follow YOUR instructions, not let him dictate to you what he wants in order to behave.
