| I just bought puppia step-in harnesses for both Tino and Lola and couldn't be happier with them. They are super secure with velcrow and a snap closure and they don't pull at their sensitive necks when they are trying to run away from me..hehhee.

| I had the same problem with Murphy about a month ago. He got out of his harness that had velcro and a snap. He was headed for a 4 lane highway. I researched harnesses after that. Murphy is also 7 lbs. I tried on Puppia vests. The one size wouldn't fit over his head and the next size was too big. I ended up getting a Buddy Belt. It is pricey, but I love it. It is a leather step in harness and it buckles. Murphy adjusted to it instantly. If you are interested PM me and I will give you the website where I found one at a very good price.

| I recommend 2 harnesses: #1 Chattiesmom's harnesses are great! Send in your measurements and she'll make you a beautiful silk harness that won't matt your yorkies hair. #2 Buddy Belts....this is also a step-in design that is meant to fit snuggly. It's done up with a buckle on the back and you should be using one of the middle holes. There is no way your yorkie will wiggle out of this one, or chew it (as long as you buy the right size).

| I can cast my vote for Chattiesmom too!!!! My Tootie is a major PULLER... I was afraid of even bringing him outside(YES I know he needs more training)... His harness fro Chattiesmom is super. I have them for Hope too and they work perfectly. Good Luck d

| The harnesses we had from PetSmart were chewed up within a week and one in two days...some of it due to teething. The Puppia and Gooby harnesses are mesh around the neck, softer and more comfortable...adjustable straps that are wide around the chest. I did have to take some stitches to make the neck smaller...maybe that would help Bella. ![]()

I bought ours from www.metropawlis.com, and their prices are competitive and their service is excellent (it's also nice to buy from a non-big-box store). Here's a picture of one: | |

| Try a large bunny harness. It is exactly like the ferret harness but bigger. Onni is so tiny we had to buy her a ferret harness and since it fits like a jacket she is not going to get out of it. I bought mine at the feed store. When she outgrows her ferret harness I am buying her the larger Bunny harness. Here is a link to what one looks like - Rabbit Collars & Harnesses: Peter's Rabbit Walking Jacket at Drs. Foster & Smith

| Wow, this harness brings back memories of when I first got my Wookie in 2005. I didn't know anything about harnesses, didn't know about YT, and bought this one for him at Walmart because it fit him during that time. But of course, he grew out of it in like a month. ![]() I'm selling ChokeFree harnesses on my website if anyone is interested ![]() Quote:
