Donating Senior Yorkie Talker | Because my Izzy was so small...I put the harness OVER her sweater or jacket...Doesn't the jacket have a little hole where you can hook the leash to the harness?

| Hi all. No there isn't a hole for anything to go through...guess I could make one though...and not sure if the Harness will fit over the coat...but could try it..as it is an adjustable Harness..although we did buy a small one..!! Thanks Chris x

| Rem's harness has the connector for the lead at the back, not in the middle Where does yours connect? If at the back you may be able to put the harness on, jacket over, and have lead come from under the apparel. This works for us in certain circumstances |

| We wear our harness over the coat. There is no slit for the ring to attach the leash to. |

| I do it both ways depending on the coat. It is sometimes so much easier than trying to get their coats over the harnesses.

| A seamstress only charger a few $ to put a button hole, in the right spot, on the back of the coat. Make sure to hole is back to front (not side to side).

| I think we all have this problem..I put mine over the coat. BUT I finally found a brand that has the hook on the coat so I don't need the harness..The brand is Gooby...Its a warm coat too!! Mr. Buttons loves it! |

| I always put the harnesses over the sweater or jacket. I think it's more comfortable for them that way and cuts down on the matting.

| It depends on the coat. The coat he wears most of the winter has a slit in the back, so I put the harness on underneath the coat, and then just attach the leash thru the hole in the coat to the harness. Most of his harnesses aren't big enough to stretch out over a coat since he's 12lbs, so he's usually the biggest size of a small.

| I put Missy's over her coat also. Luckily it adjusts enough to fit with or without her coat. |
