| I just put the harness on for walks for their own safety...I'd be worried about them getting caught on something unsupervised in the house. |

| I now use the soft cloth harnesses only....with the velcro and the D-ring on the back....I do leave it on most of the time unless it is really hot or they are sleeping or in their crate. They are with me all of the time....same room so I can watch them. If they are not with me then I take the harness off.

| I only put them on if we're going for a walk. I find their coats knot up under the harness so don't keep them on more than necessary. Does anyone else have this problem? xx Meggie |

| Tucker has super sensitive skin so I try to only put his harness on only when we're going outside...plus, if it's on a lot, he will definitely chew it. We've gone through two because he chewed through them!

| Father, Mother & Daughter All 3 of mine Artie, Abigail and Tiffany Aloha all wear soft suede harnesses with all their Rabies & Microchip Tags (I've been meaning to get ID. Tags too) are only worn to go outside for on-leash walks. I never leave them on indoors b/c all the Tags make too much noise and I'm scared that they might get caught on something? I would rather be safe than sorry. Some times I do walk them off leash with nothing on but they are all Microchipped. Their Hair used to get caught and even matted from wearing a nylon harness that's why I switched to the Suede Harness, plus they came in some cool pastel colors like powder blue, lime green and natural tan. Artie wears black and Abigail and Tiffany wear pink of course they also came with matching leashes and they were pretty reasonably priced @ www.gooby.com |

Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | I only put his harness on when we go out for a walk or in the car.

| Putting a harness on Franklin is a nightmare so I try to only do it once a day. It goes in the morning when we go out for our morning walk/potty. Then it stays on all day until we go for our last walk/potty. They are silk step-in harnesses so I think they are pretty comfortable.
