I am sorry about your baby... I am going to buy some exta harnesses for my pups.

Oh poor Tino , I will be thinking of him.

I'm sorry that your baby has CT. My one senior girl has the beginning signs. My vet has Rosie on Benadryl. It has seemed to help. I didn't know about collars causing CT either until I joined YT. I feel very sad for my Rosie that I wasn't aware of the damage I was doing to her. Hugs to you and Tino. I do understand. Joanne

I'm still saying prayers for Tino.

Good luck! I am thinking of you and your little guy!
I use a harness now and, after reading your post, will refuse to use a collar when taking my puppy for puppy class in the coming weeks. I will have to quit the class if they do not allow a harness.
All the best for a speedy recovery!

NEVER take an obedience class that insists on useing a collar. They practice the choke up correction with is totally wrong and not necessary.
I use the step in harness that Chattiesmom makes. They are made of silk so as to cut way down on matting that other harness are well known to cause and come in many colors to choose from.

Good point! I have not yet been to the class yet (starts next week) but will insist on harness. From what I have heard they are into positive reinforcement, no choking as far as I now.

Please post more info on the harness made by Chattiesmom - I would like to get one when Rocky gets older. Thank you!
