Choosing a collar for a dachshund with a neck issue...

[Freedom]

I'm not sure what style of harness has been tried. Here are some ideas with links:

A '2 step' or 'step in' harness. https://www.petedge.com/product/Guar...rite/46042.uts
I use this for most of my fluffs.

A rope n go. http://www.ropengo.com/
I use this for Tasha as she is an escape artist. She has never been able to get out of this one. Not that the doxie has the escape issue, but that is how I came to find this initially.

Thanks!! I'm going to look at those two links and see what I find.

Yes, it can turn into a matter of being more stubborn that your dachshund - which we all no is no small feat!

My Dog isn't a Doxie but he hated his harness at first. I got a Harness because he pulled really bad and still sometimes does so he needs one or he'll choke himself to death. He loves walks though so I think he just kind of sucked it up It does take a matter of getting used to it, and I think that's all she needs. I wouldn't give in

My dog now runs around and plays in his harness, so overall I think it just takes some getting used to!

I think you should not make your dog with the collar for sometime, till your dog is absolutely fine. It is important that your the infected portion should heal up fast. Once the infected area is healed up then am sure your dog will wear the collar.

Have you tried a gentle leader?
