Harness or collar? Ive just switched from a collar to a harness for Tia and she defiantly prefers a harness.The collar used to irritate her little neck and I find when she walks to heel I'm:animal-pa not pulling her back on her neck.What do you and your furbaby prefer? |
Missy uses a silk harness that I got from Chattiesmom. I won't even buy a collar for her. :) |
I'm sure the overwhelming majority will say harness. You can cause damage to the trachea using a collar on Yorkie. Occasionally Joey wears a cat's breakaway collar for "looks", but for walk he uses a harness. I love the Buddy Belt. Buddy Belt Leather Dog Harness |
Two-step harness :thumbup:. |
Collars on small and tiny dogs are very dangerous to the soft trachea. I even had to stop useing the car harnesses on them (those that are padded at the sternum) because they came up to the neck and pressed enough to make them cough. I only use step in harnesses now. |
Duke uses a Puppia step in harness. The health reason scared me away from the collar, Duke only uses the collar for look as well when I'm holding him. |
I use a harness on scooby and it makes me feel better knowing I'm not pulling on his neck when we need to stop or direct him on the right direction. Yeah I agree harness is the best way for me. |
we love the harness:thumbup: |
Definitely the harness!!!! The collars are very dangerous!!!:thumbup: |
We have velcro harness from "Cloak and Dawggie". Very easy to put on they don't mind wearing. Use a regular collar just for looks and also tags. Put harness right on without taking off collar!:) |
Definitely a harness. With all the trachea problems that Yorkies have, I just think a harness is safer. |

Mine wear a collar with their id tags. If they are going on leash, we put on a harness right over the top of it. I never walk on collar. |
no collars,, always a harness.. never keep it on indoors, im too paranoid with that.. heard too many horror stories and i want to be safe, not sorry |
Harness... Maddy has some "decorative bling" but only for show, not for function :) |
IF you do use a collar to keep ID tags on them, please use a break away collar. These are usually sold as kitten collars and will open if caught up on something. |
yep, harness here too. |

I am a big fan of the Puppia harness, that is all I use for walking but SophieKate does wear a collar with her tags (I am afraid she would slip out the door some day and be untagged). I had a hard time find a harness that fit when she was small so I took her to an local pet shop and they found a Puppia that would fit her. I also use the Puppia with a seatbelt attachment when she rides in the car. I found Yorkies are very areodynamic and tend to end up all over the car with sudden stops |
Collar for looks and tags, but not in the house. Harness for walks and when on leash Carrier in the car. |
Harness for walking and for use with the car seat. I don't think I could get a collar on him as he still resents the harness. He is over a year old and still does not like it. I put it on for the walk and it comes off. |

Jackson wears a collar with tags all the time in the house. We live on 3 acres with no fenced in yard so it's just better to keep it on all the time with him going in and outside. Unfortunately, we haven't gotten the opportunity to go on many walks yet since it's been so damn cold so he's barely been on walks. |
car seat What is a good "car seat" for my two guys? One likes to look out the window and the other is just content to sleep! I commute on the weekends about 90 miles so I'm looking.:) |
:thumbup::thumbup: Harness alllll the way!! Love Love Love it! He only wears it when we go on walks or outside, and he has a collar with his tags and info but he only has that on when he goes outside as well....:D |

I prefer the harness. It's much safer. |
