Mojito wears a harness when he's on leash for all the reasons everyone stated.
He actually has a step-in harness as well as a mesh, vest-like harness that has velcro closure. We prefer the mesh harness because it provides excellent support but will probably start using the step-in harness when he gets a big bigger. I carry him around in a bag and heaven forbid he should try to jump out ,the harness would keep him from hurting his neck. (We like the "Cloak and Dawggie" brand but I know there are others out there.)
He also wears a collar but just for his ID and rabies tags -- in nyc they can write you a ticket if your dog isn't carrying the tags! |
