In search of a harness for walking

[janicecue]

Thank you. They are chewers, but chew on each other. They wear a Puppia harness now and often when they are chasing each other and play fighting they bite the other's harness and use it to pull on. I like the Puppia harness, but I think it is too much fabric for them to wear it all day. The Buddy Belt really looks perfect.

The buddy belt does look great!

I would like to just offer one other option - any of Susan Lanci Step-In Dog Harnesses are wonderful and oh so stylish! The website is gwlittle. I have been over the moon happy with mine.

Many colors to choose from soft, very durable, Ultrasuede. Cut to avoid choking and allow freedom of movement. Pretty pricy but seem to be well made and wash well. I hope that helps.

If they are chewers, I wouldn't leave the Buddy Belts on them when they are not supervised. It could end up being an expensive play session.

The buddy belt is good, but when Cali is going to have to wear the harness for a while I really like the silk harnesses that ChattiesMom here on YT makes. They are so soft and minimize the matting issues of harnesses - plus the colors are lovely. Like Buddy Belts they get softer as you use them.

I saw those in an old post and thought they were no longer available. Thank you, I do like them better. Is there a website?

[yorkiemini]

You might PM ChattiesMom and ask her. She usually responds pretty quickly.

Thank you YorkieMini, I did pm ChattiesMom, but have not heard back from her. I decided to try the Buddy Belt Harness and last week purchased two for my 6 month old puppies. Whoa, what a difference they make in the time it takes to put them on which was one of my concerns, especially in the mornings when they are so anxious to go outside and potty. The harness is the softest leather and the buckle idea is a life saver. They look great on and Anise and Basil already walk into them and I buckle up quickly and off we go! The belts go over their sweaters, as well since there are several eyelets for adjustment. Anise is 7lb and wearing a 3.5, Basil is 10lb and wearing a 4. I am sold on the Buddy Belt! Again, thank you all for posting about harnesses.

Bought the Buddy Belts and love them! They are so easy to put on and take off there is no reason to leave them on all day. Thank you!
