Harnesses are the best and safest way to attach a leash to your dog. Toy dogs have very fragile throats and can be injured by a collar resulting in what is called "collapsed trachea" where the windpipe gets dented. It is much better to use a harness that keeps the pressure on the dog’s chest. Harnesses are available for all sizes of dogs from 1 pound to 200 pounds.
Pet Persona has the solution!
If your dog is too strong to be walked on a harness, he needs more training to behave on a leash. Very strong dogs may need to have an anti-pull harnesswhich is cruelty free and offers safety for both the walker and the dog without the wrestling and pulling. Halti and Sporn are 2 brand name harnesses available from Pet Persona that can be used on dogs that pull or get unruly when on a leash.
