| Harness Hello can anyone help me, my small yorkie ia pulling a loit on his harness and coughing when walking, What is the best type of harness should he be wearing, I was told not one that goes around his neck as that will make more problems. He has one that goes around this front legs and does up at the back. Please help, I`m a worried mummy x

| I use in-step harnesses for my two and I've never had a problem with coughing. You want to make sure there is nothing around their necks as it could cause collapsed trachea. The in-step harnesses go around their front legs and fasten on top of their shoulders.

| I have an Ancol harness for my 6 pound boy. I got it in the smallest size & it fits fine if I adjust it down to nearly the minimum. It only cost £5.99 & comes in several colours. However, this was too big for my littlest girl so I had to get a puppy harness. I'm sorry, I can't remember the make as she's had it a while & it doesn't have the brand on, but it has little coloured dogs & "puppy dog" printed as a pattern all along it. It has a detachable lead which is adjustable....at it's longest it is about 8 foot & came on a card with two toys, if that's any help. It was the only thing I could find small enough after searching all the pet shops in my two nearest towns |

| I don't remember the name of it, but I bought one at Walmart (cheap) that is great. It has wool straps in the front and doesn't go across her neck at all.

| I have the same problem with Bella. I ordered the No choke step in harness from The Sassy Pup and I'm hoping to get it next week. Hopefully it'll work!
