| Need harness suggestions!!! Sophia has really sensitive skin and started having some problems that I think are from her buddy belt. So, we switched back into her old "Up Country" brand step in harness. The step-in harness still irritates her around her armpits (but not as bad as the BB). Are there any types of harnesses that do not touch this area, or just any other styles/materials in general that we might have more success with? Thanks

| Luma has the same problem! Maybe try the silk step in harnesses? I've seen threads..let me find it. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...elections.html Same concept as the bb I think, but silk vs. Leather? Cant beat that. Also i know some of the bb's are softer than other colors. There is also a harness liner available on the bb website. Let me know which route you go...Luma has super sensitive skin lately and the bb tears her UP.

Let me know what you do with Luma and her sensitive skin! Sigh, it must be a girl thing. Brody doesn't have any of these problems

| I think almost any step in harness will touch the "arm pit" area some. I do sell the choke*free leather step in harness.. they recomend not leaving the harness on 24/7. I do and never have had a problem with Remy. The plain leather ones are very soft...and I use a lose fit. I sometime put the harness over her clothes.. maybe that will help? Good luck

| I use the choke free harness on Mikki too. I used one from Petco before but I like the choke free harness much better! Just ordered more from Lil Sis!

Although...this seems silly but..we originally had a harness from Petco that is full bodice and has a d ring just between the shoulders. She would cough everytime she pulled and I really hated it. I took a keychain ring and put it on the strap that loops around her back. It pulls much lower and no coughing! Not sure how much it helped, and it's kinda tacky, but whatever. We take her to the dog park in this one.

| Gracie has been using the silk step in harness for the last several weeks. She loves the thing. She gives it a kiss every I go to put it on her. She has a long coat and I have never had trouble with tangles. She only wears it when we are out though. We go on several walks a day and sometimes I let her play in the backyard and we have never had a bit of trouble with it. I bought it from chattiesmom here on YT. Really reasonably priced and well made. |

| Puppia has never caused any troubles for Jackson. I'm going to try out the Hurrta harness. Going to order it next week! The y-harness. Dog Harnesses I've been looking for a good "sporty" harness... one that can get wet, muddy, etc, yet still give him a good range of movement and be comfortable and not too hot. And one he can be comfy wearing all day if necessary. Heard GREAT things about Hurrta so hopefully it works. I'll let you know how we like it

| I like when dogs have their own ideas about the way they like things.
