Thread: What do you use to walk your dog?

    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.
