Collar or harness?

In my opinion it is because it can be adjusted so easily and well and I have heard many people whose dogs have escaped from other harnesses have not been able to from the buddy belt. They do make things like that for collars but there kinda big so more geared toward bigger dogs.

Here is a review I did of it for my blog https://lovetodream88.wordpress.com/...-belt-harness/

They are also leather so they last pretty much the dogs life time.

All of that sounds nice, though correction on leather.. Leather may not last that long depends... I've had a leather collar break on me once.

Big and bulky doesn't sound smart... It should be something compact, hidden within the collar so it doesn't look weird. You know? So in case it got abducted, the person kept the collar, but you could still track it. Imagine that?

Technology like that I think is already available or not far off in that size and all I mean.


But I highly doubt I could build something that sophisticated myself. Just the idea sounds nice.

By the way, been looking at the link you gave me- sort of side tracked and looked at the other photos of callie. She's so precious. She reminds me of Sasha, I bet she would be my favorite too. That sweet sweet face. lol.

Love the picture of her poking her head out of a carrier bag. Also what's that thing that you put in the zippers? Looks like a clip. If one was to be traveling via air - I would think a harder carrier would be required, or preferred.

Still, I have seen really crafty dogs find themselves out of a really tight harness...

Our dog when she was a crafty pup who had more of that "pup power" , she would escape collars, and harnesses... Eventually I'd put the two together(clipped together) so if it gets out of one she couldnt the other. But somehow she could still find her way... Crafty little hoodini... Good thing we were in the backyard when it happen... That is what concerns me... How do you keep a houdini from removing it's harness? Is the buddy belt snug enough that you can't escape from it? How do you figure out sizes? I doubt 1 size fits all..

Thanks Callie is awesome but I maybe biased lol. She is a very good girl she is a great model because she just goes with whatever. They have lots of different sizes you go by their chest measurement. The leather on these really does hold up well. Callie's oldest one is 7 years old i think and still looks great. Callie knows how to unzip zippers even from the inside so if I have to keep her in for some reason it has to have a clip. I think the way it fits it just makes it harder to slide out of it or something. I have never had a dog that tried to get out of their harness so I'm haven't gotten to test that myself.

Chest Measurements... lol, if it even stands still...

Your callie is a crafty little bugger, ain't she? Quite a beaut.

Both. Just attach the harness for walks. The collar is good for easy I'd and more comfortable to wear in general.

Definitely harness. Never put a collar around a Yorkie's neck. They have trachea problems.

You can use a collar for tags in fact I recommend it.

It's what I plan on doing. Plus investing in something to track it physically. I am sure there is something that has a tracker that shows wherever it is, no matter how far. Idk. Maybe I am thinking too much of movies-- but you know current world technology would say it's highly possible if its not out already.
