Your dog doesn’t look very small or fragile but maybe you should consider the collar only since you’re having escape and sizing issues . I know you’ve read about collapsed trachea for small breeds but from your pictures the anatomy of your dog I think I would consider training and collars moving forward. |
Yeah she ain't super small and dainty. She's also a bit of an escape artist.
As for training, I took her to a training class at petsmart for a few weeks, I didn't see the results, so I decided to train her on my own. The potty issue I realize it was my fault for not being easier on the food changing and additions. I guess changing their foods is to them how eating spicy foods or overly filled with tomatoes for me.
I just wanted her to be the happiest she can be.
I did find a harness from muttgear called the doublebacked harness, has the back legs covered.
If not I will go to my vet and ask if a training collar is okay. In the end I just worry about her safety, not just the immediate safety but her trying to escape freaks me out and she does it when she sees stuff of interest- prey, noise, etc
