I have a Yorkie Poo and she will not.. wear a collar. She will run around trying to rub it off. Or lay around looking depressed. We tried seeing if she would "get used to it". After two and a half days we took it off. She was starting not to eat. I did order a harness, maybe that will help? Our little girl weighs about five pounds and full of energy. :) Her name is Emma and she is now nine months old. Thank you for any suggestions!! I do hope it is ok to post here about a Yorkie mix. The coloring and look of her head is pure poodle, the rest of her is all Yorkie. :p Norma |
Try a harness vest or a step in harness. We have several people who make them on here. Welcome to YT. Yorkies really have sensitive tracheas and collars aren't really a good idea. Good luck. |
Emma should be wearing a harness with ID attached. When she is a little older try putting a collar on her neck when she is to go out. She will associate have the collar on with having a great time going for a walk with you. However, the collar is for ID only! Use the harness only for your walks. |
What type of collar is it. Does it have a buckle or a safety. It may be too heavy, what I did was use a nylon with a plastic safety, they weigh less and stuck in the bottom of the laundry for a day before putting it on Milo, yes this sounds gross but, they collar will smell familiar. |
Oh gee I had no idea about the sensitive tracheas. No collar for Emma then. I did order a step in harness, so we will see how that goes. Thank you! Norma |
What kind of id do you get for a harness? Emma will be spayed in a week or two and she will have a Home Again chip put in at the same time. Norma |
Remi uses a nylon collar for ID purposes. He has another collar used for obedience training class that was fit and sized on him by the instructor. I would not attempt this on my own. The harnesses I use are Puppia and Shnoozy. I prefer the Shnoozy on our walks as it also has a reflector band at the top. Hope this is helpful. Regards, Marilyn |
