Let's simply compare a Dog Collar to a Dog Harness
If Pet Collar is good for a puppy, a Pet Harness can affect the dog's growth and development, but not adult dogs.
It is important to note that collars can hurt the throat of dogs that are more wild, such as those that tend to run amokay, so Pet Harness are recommended for dogs that are more active.
1. The advantage of the Dog Collar is strong control, if the average family dog choose the collar, the dog will soon be tamed, because the neck is the most sensitive place, a little force, can contain the dog's behavior, assist the training of the dog.
However, collars also have their drawbacks. Long term wearing of collars can easily damage the hair on the neck of long-haired dogs, so choose a collar made of a good material, such as leather, or wrapped in a soft cotton cloth. This will allow better air permeability and reduce the damage to the hair.
If long-term wear do not choose plastic or other bad air permeability, it will not only cause damage to the hair and even to the skin.
If you can, it is best to put a collar on your dog from a young age to help him adjust from a young age. Once used to a chest strap, dogs will be very resistant to collars.
For dogs that have had collars since childhood, wear them as little as possible to protect their hair when not going outside. Some large dogs, which need to be worn for a long time, also need to remove the collar and groom the neck daily to keep healthy.
2. The advantage of the Pet Harness is that it has a wide range of forces. Many owners think that collars can strangle their dogs, so they choose breast braces from an early age. But the dog with the chest strap was far less compliant than the dog with the collar.
Harness are also ideal for certain types of dogs, such as small Chihuahuas, miniature animals, or dogs with throat problems.
The disadvantage of the Harness is the poor control, the pressure on the chest. Many aggressive dogs recommend a chest harness.
3. Owners often use Harness in the hope that their dogs won't get pinched no matter how they run. But the more excited a dog is, the more difficult it is to tame, and the harness is just a distraction, not a taming. Over time, the dog will be less compliant.
Excitement type dogs tend to have a larger impact force, Harness on the chest pressure is also very bad for the internal organs, the complex design of chest straps also causes armpit, neck, chest hair friction, so it is more unsuitable for long-term wear than collars.
Be sure to choose a harness with a bandwidth of more than 1 cm, so as to relieve the pressure, and be sure to take off the strap when you go out.
A developing puppy should never assume that the collar will be constricted. With a chest harness, the stress will deform their bones.
