Exactly. Before joining YT, I didn't know either....

Is it better to not use it at all? (even though i have a teapot yorkie)
Thank goodness for this site, it teaches us something every day! Harry's a 'teapot' too, but they're still relatively small and their necks are so fragile, it's really not worth the risk.

Collars really should only be used for the pups tags, never for walking. Choke Free harnesses and Buddy Belts are both excellent....so much so that I got Harry's imported! Good luck! Sally + Harry x
