Having owned many dogs over the years, I was interested to check out dog harnesses, particularly the lovely designs by Pebblina. Their reversible dog harness looks fabulous, but I hesitated, simply because I have always used a collar and lead, and sometimes, a choker chain for my dogs. I had always thought that dog harnesses didn’t give you much control over your dog, which is why I always used a collar and lead or a choker chain. How wrong I was!
One problem with choker chains is that they choke your dogs! Some of my dogs just wouldn’t behave on their walks and kept pulling me forwards, which on many occasions, nearly caused me to fall over! However, the noise they made when they pulled against the choker chain really made my heart leap, but what could I do?
So, I reverted back to the collar and lead, but the collar would need to be tightened or she would easily slip out of it, and I didn’t like it being pulled so tight around her neck. For many years I just went between the two options of collar and choker chain, not knowing that there was another option.
