Dog Harnesses
Many pet parents wonder if a collar or a dog harness is better for their pup. In this case, your pet knows best. Whichever option they prefer is the one you should use. However, there are some cases where dog harnesses are more beneficial.
Benefits of Dog Harnesses
Dog harnesses can be an effective training tool, especially for puppies. No-pull dog harnesses offer better control over your pet, as they do not allow for pulling or jumping when they’re on a leash. Training collars can also help with this. Additionally, dogs with respiratory illnesses or short noses, like Pugs, prefer a dog harness as it keeps extra stress off of their windpipe and allows for more comfortable exercise.
Are Harnesses More Inconvenient than Collars?
Some pet owners worry that a harness could be more inconvenient to get on and off than a collar. However, many models are now step-in dog harnesses that allow an easy on and easy off transition for pets and their owners. Car harnesses are also very convenient for going from the car to the park or trail. While some dogs may still prefer a collar to a dog harness, it’s important to explore the option with your pet. Shop Petco’s selection to find the right fit for your dog, including personalized, patterned, and reflective options.
