What is the best harness for Yorkies?

Chattiesmom on YT makes silk step-in harnesses I've heard others rave about.

The Buddy Belt IS a choke free step in harness! I love these, and I also have quite a few of the ones Chattiesmom makes. Love these too! Is she still making them? I haven't seen her on here. Cindy, where are you?

Choke Free is a brand name. Buddy Belt is a different brand.

Yes, but they are "both" choke free.

I ordered this one and we all love it. It is so easy to put on and Sheldon is not even aware he is wearing it. Sheldon is 2.6 lbs and it fits him now and has some room to grow. I found a Puppia harness at TJMax, it was on clearance for 5 bucks, I don't like it and neither does Sheldon, it is so hard to adjust.

Puppia has a couple of different types of harnesses. The step in vest harness is choke free and very secure. It comes in an extra small size at some retailers and the XS is a good size for puppies. My little one was quite a puller as a puppy and this was a life saver for us.

No, that one goes up closer to the throat. The vest harness is down lower. I think Amazon sells it but they don't have an XS that I know of. You might find it for less on ebay but here is one at Baxter Bo
Soft Vest Dog Harness by Puppia - Pink at BaxterBoo
They are a bit more expensive but well worth it. I have the mesh one for Gracie but they come in different materials and patterns.

Thanx. I'm going to order the Puppia vest in camo.

Amazon does have them in xs and small. It's confusing because different sellers or even different Puppia charts show different measurements. My puppy has a 7.5" neck and his chest is about 11.5".

The store, Frieda's Pet Boutique, closed about a year and a half ago. The owner died from cancer but, the other ladies that helped run the store do strictly onlinel orders from Saint Augustine. The shop is now a great fudge store(yum). ChokeFree is pricey but a sturdy harness.

the petco one is like the ones they have at Wallmart, in fact if you have a Wallmart near you, they just got a new spring dog collection, they put it in the center isle, they have flowered harnesses, spring dresses, scarves, sun hats, tees, and even bikinis the clothing stuff goes fast first day I saw it they had a good selection, went back two days later and most of the clothing was gone. They had a ton of flowered collars though and LOL I felt like telling the mgr, you should let you vendor know that small dogs don't walk with collars, so you don't need as many but tell them to put more dresses out LOL, I feel like I should be a retail consultant

Only problem they are always pink and flowery.
I am going to suggest some boy colors too, lol

I agree, I have been to several Walmarts and all they have is girly stuff, even my Target has a new spring line and the only boy stuff I saw was a rain coat.

It is the same for kids clothes, the girl section is always 3 times the size of boys.
