In the summer, I leave Jackson's lifejacket on most of the day, and last summer, I left the lifejacket on while over at my uncles because it prevented him from slipping through any cracks. It's a similar concept... and the lifejacket is more "constricting" than these bumpers, but he has NO problem running at full-speed while wearing it, or jumping in the air to catch a ball. Doesn't bother him at all. And not to mention, a lifejacket by a pool is, again, another safety feature to prevent him from falling in and drowning (even though he is a great swimmer, you never know). I am ALL for letting a dog be a dog (as most of you know! Jackson is about as much 'dog' as you can get ) but safety is important too.

I was staying at a friends house for the weekend, they live on a very busy street ~ so busy that they have gates at every single entrance to their home! They have a fully fenced in yard (perfect for their Boston Terrier) but that fence is no match for a tiny Yorkie!

With the Puppy Bumpers I was able to (almost) fully relax and let them roam and sniff all day long
