What Ypu Should Use for a Leash - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Great post on the importance of having a good fitting harness.

Sophie Kate is a Buddy Belt kinda girl in fact we just ordered a new one this weekend during the sale (which a matching leash). She will probably never have as many as Yazmin but honestly that picture with her fanned out around her sold me on getting the Hot Pink.

I really need to try the choke free also, I like to make recommendations to the people I work with at the Rescue and always state try a Buddy Belt and Choke Free.

]All the pups looks adorable in their harnesses!
Since we are on the subject of harnesses, does anyone know of an "escape proof" harness? Henri is notorious for getting out of harnesses, he has been dubbed the "Houdini of the dog world" due to him being able to get out of every harness I have tried. I have tried roughly 5 types and he gets out of all of them, I have tried: standard, vest, some mesh over the head one (can't find a pic of it), a nylon "perfect fit" one, and another that I can't remember. He doesn't slip out often, but when he does it's at the worst possible times. Any suggestions?

if you try a car harness it's a bit unorthadox but their a lot more adjustable and are padded around the back and chest they work a treat

Kristin, (Maximo) is having a Labor Day Weekend Sale with 20% off everything in her store if that helps!

Wonderful suggestion.

I understand! Matching BB's, leashes, bows, even poo bag purses!

Yup! I think it's a OCD thing that Verbena mentioned. I'm still looking for purple shoes!

Well, Henri got out of his harness again so I broke down and bought a Buddy Belt. I decided that his safety is worth the money plus I used the 20% off coupon so that at least brought it down a little. I got him the classic Caramel color (it was a hard choice, there are so many pretty colors!). I really hope this harness works, I really really do... but I figured if it doesn't I could always resell it on here and make back some of the money I spent.
Another thing is I hope I don't become addicted to the BB like the rest of you, I can't afford it!

I think it's a little obvious, we love Buddy Belts!

(Thanks Kristin, Maximo)

Thanks to Kristen, Lil Sis and Chattiesmom, all of our babies are much safer!

O_o...
Jeez, I was struggling with the fact of just buying one!

She looks like she has one for any and every occasion

I remember reading on one thread that the bb didn't fit someone's dog because the dog was too long and lean & it rubbed under the arms or something. Since that is how Huey is built, I was thinking about trying the choke free. Looking at the pics, though, I cannot figure out how the choke free is fastened. I know the bb has a buckle on the top, but all I can tell on the choke free is that it has a d-ring coming through a slit but no obvious fastener. Could someone who uses one help me? I wouldn't do well with anything that buckles because Huey Houdini can get one leg out as I get the other one in and I need something that latches down quickly

His hair is so long that every harness we have ever tried ends up in a tangled mess.

I have a choke-free and really like it. It has a strong-holding Velcro strip on top as the fastener. I find it very easy and quick to put on Betty Boop. Hope this answered your question.

I also have a Buddy Belt that I really like, too. They look really dressy.

I need more colors in each one!

Oooh, The classic Caramel Buddy Belt is going to look so handsome on Henri!

I have no doubt your little Houdini won't be escaping this one!

You'll feel much better knowing, he's safe AND secure also. So happy you got one on sale!

Hahaha, I know the feeling, it's hard to buy just one!

We do have BB's for special occasions. Thank goodness they're on sale, Orange will be perfect for Halloween.
