    What do you use to walk your dog?

    Molli uses a harness and Sam uses his collar.

    I walk Finn with a collar. A harnessed Finn would be impossible to walk, it would just allow him to pull harder, more comfortably! David has harnesses for Freckles and Dudley.

    My legs! I voted for collar harness and no leash, it varies with situation. I only use the harness when its at hand, not when I have to search for it.

    Frisk uses a harness, because his neck is so big that a collar slides right off^^.
    Ethan uses one of those harnesses that help cut back on pulling.
    Skylar just uses a collar.

    I use harnesses on both of them. Ripley backed out of his collar once on a walk and scared me to death. Bella has a tendency to tug at the beginning of our walks because she is so excited, and I couldn't stand to hear her choke herself.

    Edit: I used to use a Halti on Bella but she would sometimes try to rub it off if given the chance. She seems to prefer the harness.

    On Sadie, I usually use her collar. Sometimes I use her harness, though.
    LOL, Pam! Sadie does the same thing with her gentle leader!

    So does Molli. She chokes herself so much with collars that she hacks for like 15 minutes after her walk.

    Collars (normal flat buckle, sometimes I'll put a martingale on Jack if his regular collar isn't handy >.< ) and leashes for them all on normal walks. For bike riding they wear a harness, but thats the only time.

    a prong collar. I really don't understand the harness It just allows them to pull easier. I would use a martingale or a prong collar if I had a dog with a thin head.

    Bailey wears his prong and regular collar on walks - that way I can switch between them.

    marintgale collars on all(exepts Ripley, he wears a buckle collar cuz martinagles are to big), Happy is usually off leash though, pretty much the only time I leash her is when she starts to slow down while were bieing, when she slows down she lags behind and since I have to ride on the road, I prefer she be beside me, so I hook up the leash.

    Maggie, Marty, and Roxie all use prong collars. Since I don't walk them together Roxie and Marty share one(I'm going to go buy Marty his own soon). I'm thinking about getting a gentle leader for Maggie though, just to see.
