Apparently using a harness causes strain on the patellas which is worse than a collapsing trachea? Has anyone ever had problems using a harness? I'm not comfortable using a leash and at this point a harness either.
Is this something you read from a vet site or just some other forum? There's an awful lot of garbage going around. I don't know why a harness would cause patella problems. I do believe you should train your dog to walk without pulling.
