Why Should You Choose A Harness For Your Dog Instead Of A Collar

Summary: At some point in time, almost every dog owner has to partake in the debate between collars and harnesses. Experts say that the latter is better, and this topic will explain why.

 

Almost every dog owner has to face one dilemma at some point in time – whether to opt for a collar or a harness! Both items have unique advantages and disadvantages. Due to the numerous colors and designs they’re available in, most folks resort to collars. However, you should take your time to think about the ultimate purpose it will serve. If you do, you’ll realize that you must pick something functional instead of stylish. Collars can work as identifiers and hold the animal’s nametag and registration. Then again, they aren’t perfect for all situations. That’s why you should opt for a harness. Here are a few compelling reasons to do so.

 

More control: You may want to call your pet an angel, but it’s not a befitting description for every doggie out there. The rowdier ones enjoy diving after surprised birds or lunging towards strays or other dogs on the sidewalk. They also try their best to trap your neighbor’s kitty. If your pooch has these habits, you’ll need a harness from a dog collar boutique.

 

No more pulling: A harness purchased from a dog collar boutique will prevent your pet from tugging at the leash. After all, you’re the one who should be walking him/her and not the other way around. If Fido keeps tugging on the leash constantly, even the shortest walk will feel like a tiresome upper body workout. No matter what you do, you can’t let your pet attempt to pull your arms out of the sockets because if you do, he/she will think you’ll let him/her go where he/she wants to. By using a harness, however, you’ll ensure he/she can’t do it. A harness will discourage this act of tugging by redirecting their energy.

 

Neck strain reduction: If your pet pulls at the leash with a collar on his/her neck, it will result in an injury. No, you aren’t the one who’ll get injured. You shouldn’t forget that the collar remains attached to your pet’s neck – a sensitive area. Your beloved pet may end up at a hospital with an unintentional but severe neck injury. Small breeds are usually more at risk of sustaining neck injuries, but the solution to this problem lies in harnesses. A harness will disperse the strain over a larger area and protect the animal’s body from injuries.

 

Ocular proptosis: Veterinarians describe the condition, ocular proptosis, as a situation where a dog’s eyeballs protrude out of his/her eye sockets. You won’t need an animal specialist’s help to diagnose this condition because it’s profoundly visible. It happens if your pet sustains a head injury, but that’s not the only cause. Sometimes, too much strain exerted on the neck will lead to the same issue. Harnesses, of course, won’t contribute to this problem.

 

To conclude

 

As you can see, these reasons are compelling enough to shift from collars to harnesses. Don’t you think it’s time for you to make the change?
