I agree but if the dog is already in a stage where it pulls to choking itself then you're gonna want a harness so you can start working on that in a safer manner. Harness can also give you more points to grab/handle if the dogs off lead or in an emergency or something .
@@sillyface6950 as someone who only used harnesses for most of my dogs life, she only pulled because she could get away with 0 consequences no amount of training I did fixed it. 1 week on a collar and it was a basically new dog from time to time she does pull but the collar doesn't come near to choking her and if a collar does, get a new one, it shouldn't. Even dog trainers/experts say stay away from harnesses so I would recommend doing collars for dogs it's been overall statistically shown to be better if you do research which is why experts recommend it.
@localdreams7722 my dog actually pulls more on a collar to me while I rarely feel a pull on her harness. Probably because I almost always have her on harness when out on walks so she's used to corrections on that.
If you have a dog that pulls a lot the solution is called training. Lots and lots of training. If you can't be bothered to do that then you shouldn't own an adventurous breed
While training the dog to not pull you may want them to not choke themselves. A sharp tug on the lead for correction can be equally effective regardless of its a collar or a harness, but one will do a lot less damage.
@@sillyface6950Tugging on a harnesse does nothing, a quick Google search of a video or personal experience would show you that. Collars are statistically known to be better which is why experts recommend them
Collars are fine but my dog has .67 brain cells and he won’t stop pulling so a collar actually chokes him and he doesn’t think to stop pulling, but i got a muzzle type thing that goes around his neck and nose and that helps so much more because he can’t put all his weight into pulling because he can only use the strength of his neck but it doesn’t choke him either (it’s not tight though so he can still pant and breath easily)
Stop lying to these people, if you have an “ adventurous “ dog then they will pull you through the mud. A collar or slip lead are the best ones to use even.

@@Lucyx444most muzzle based leads are worse than neck leads, if they put pressure on it it'll snap its neck back which does more harm than a slip lead. If your dog is choking itself before listening to you, you are training the dog wrong. I have a dog that used to be like that but if you do a little bit of research muzzle leads are your worst and most dangerous option.
People don’t know that certain rules of harness bring that same or worse problems of collars. For example the harness the Shiba has it’s very dangerous for their shoulders, because it brings them up while dogs only move their shoulders from forward to behind
A harness should never be used. It doesn't allow you to control the dog. Most people don't train their dog to walk next to them properly. I've owned small and large breeds and always use collars. Training is the key. The dog needs to know who the pack leader is and who is walking who. Stop treating dogs like children. You are their master not their parent.
There are a few situations I'd advise them. For example, in the car, it's a lot safer to strap a lead or seatbelt to keep the dog still onto a harness.
I would say the opposite. A harness is perfect, even if your dog is trained. It can allow the dog to know when it's allowed out for a walk or a run around vs when it's inside and can do what it wants indoors. It can provide more and better points to grab if necessary. It's safer for vehicle travel. The ring tends to always sit on the back of the dog so when you reach a main road or somewhere that dogs are not allowed off leash it makes it quicker to just pop a lead on.
@@sillyface6950I mean you can say whatever you want, but your still wrong 😂😂😊collars are always better and safer before you can control your dog more and also easier to train using a collar which is the main thing you need to do for a dog to be safe right? Haha yes I am right… now cry
@@andrewwebb917yea harnesses are better for car situations and such, which is what I use mine for. But the vid is talking about general use and not when it can be better used, overall you're better off with a collar.
@@localdreams7722 I agree with that mostly. I don't think someone should be shamed for owning them either though. This comment says should never be used, i commented some potential uses
In my experience, a harness actually makes your dogs pull WAY more because they can throw their whole weight into trying to get away from you

Prong collar works best used right
team collar
If your dog is stronger you are going for a ride
