| Making harness question... When making those harness vest things, do you use velco on the chest part of the vest, and does it work, and where do you get the d shape rings at??

| Yes you can use velcro on both the chest straps and the neck strap. These work well if the dog is small and does not pull hard on a harness. The 'D' rings can be purchased at any fabric store. Make sure that the flat part of the 'D' ring is saudered shut and that there isnt a crack there. The fabric can slip through and the dog will be loose. I use vests for fun clothes and a leather harness. I do not trust the velcro because it can become worn and not hold as well. |

| I buy the mettle d rings at Joann fabric and in the same area you can buy the velcroe by the yard. I get the wide -- I think 2 or 3 inches. By using the wide you have a safer closure. I also agree... when traveling or out of our little neighborhood walk I have a no*choke leather harness on her. I can still dress her by either putting the harness over or under her outfits. Some outfits have an opening... like a button hole for the d ring to fit through.

| I like the velcro to be in the back, and then a clip to hold together, and then two d rings attached on either side of the clip. The leash hooks through both sides. No way that suckers gonna come off, even if the velcro is worn.

Katie Scarlett's Mommy Donating Member | I use velcro as well. I order mine on Amazon 10 yards at a time. I have found it to be much cheaper. I order my d rings on etsy from Hong Kong. They take a couple weeks to arrive but you can't beat the price. If I run out though, I pick them up at Joann but always try to use a coupon.
