| Harness vs collar Hello folks! We got a 9 week old female who needs lots of training. I'm sure harness is better for their comfort but does it make it harder to alert and train them instead of having a collar when they have their had stuck inside garbage outside? |

| Collars should never ever be used on a Yorkie. Their necks are too fragile. Harnesses only. You can get one with the D ring in the front, so when you pull on the leash, he/she has to turn to you. EasyWalk is one of them. I found that it didn't work well for my Yorkie though because it just seem to fit quite right. Chattiesmom makes a Walk Nice harness and that might be worth a try also.

Thor's Human Donating Member | It WILL make it harder to train, but Ellie_May is right, it's not worth damaging their necks. You can either commit extra hard to training a good Heel, or get one of the harnesses she mentioned. Or both!
