Whats your opinion:
Collars or harnesses for small dogs?

I don't know what to go for Laughing

DEFINATELY collars for exactly the reason Janis has given.

PLUS

I have Staffies and we regularly meet a JRT out on walks who wears a harness.When he's on it he's posturing and aggressive and stupidly confronts my 3 Rolling Eyes

Off leash he's an adorable friendly little thing. It's all down to the tool used - put your weeny baby in a harness and it will think it can take on the world - teach it good manners from the outset and chances are all meetings will stay friendly Smile

No question.......for pulling use a harness, for normal dog walking or obedience work use a collar.

Thanks for your replies Very Happy

I know my other dogs pull in a harness, but cause when a Chihuahua pulls you don't even notice, I thought I'd ask.
As long as the collar doesn't put too much stress on the neck of the tiny one (:
