The harness or collar debate is a hot topic between many dog owners. Some very much prefer one to the other. Overall, there are pros and cons of wearing either a collar or a harness and it is more about what your dog needs and is comfortable wearing.

Owners who use harnesses do report having more control over their dogs whilst out walking and it’s less likely for your dog to get tangled in their leash. It also reduces risks for any neck injuries.

As lovely as this all may sound, some dogs however absolutely hate harnesses! They may feel very uncomfortable wearing it and harnesses can be an absolute nightmare for dogs with long fur. It can become tangled within the harness and that can be extremely painful.

At the end of the day, the choice is entirely yours depending on what is best for your dog and it’s needs.
