| I got a harness for my Rocky at petsmart. It's small enough for him, and adjustable. It's about the same as a collar, except goes around his arms. In the front, but the throat there is a little ring so you can attach whatever to it, and on the back of the harness theres a D-ring where you actually put the leash on. Its plain and simple, and he wears it around the house a lot, and he can sleep in it. I do plan on getting him vest-harness's, but for now this works good |

| I have two that are step in harnesses I got from Petsmart. Then I have one vest harness I got from Tinkerbells Closet. It is well made and Jewels never comes out of it. I just ordered one from Go Fetch also

| Harness vest are all that I use on my girls. They are actually one of the only things that my llittle chihuahua Tinkerbell can not get out of. Harnesses are defiently the way to go when it comes to walking a dog and they are extremely sturdy and a lot more comfortable for dogs than collars. Collars can be soooo bad for a dogs neck, my parents dog has trachea problems becasue they used to use a collar on him. And yes Harnesses come with a D-ring so you can put your tags on there. I have over 80 different styles and types of harnesses on my website: http://tinkerbellscloset.com/browse_...me/__Harnesses

| We tried the step-in harness, but it was a nuisance to put on and take off. We couldn't leave it on Penny because she mats easily, and we keep her coat at a medium length. At the beginning of summer we ordered a vest harness from Tiger's Mom, Des, and we love it. Some friends of ours requested the info and will be ordering one soon, also, as their little one figured out he can chew through the step-ins! Watch out, though! There is a wide selection of styles, fabrics, and embellishments out there. You might not be able to stop with just one!! I'm planning to order Penny another here soon! |
