What are the benefits of using a dog harness over a collar?
Using a dog harness instead of a collar has several benefits, including:
- Improved control: A harness provides better control over your dog compared to a collar, especially if your dog is strong or pulls on the leash.
- Reduced risk of injury: Traditional collars can put a strain on a dog’s neck, especially if they pull on the leash. A harness reduces the risk of injury to the neck and spine, which can be particularly important for dogs with respiratory problems or neck injuries.
- Training aid: A harness can be a useful training aid for puppies or dogs who are still learning how to walk on a leash.
- Better for specific activities: If you and your dog enjoy outdoor activities like hiking or running, a harness designed for those activities can provide additional support and control.
