Dog Harnesses

Q: Does my dog need a collar or a harness?

There are reasons to have both in your dog&#39;s kit. A collar is essential for holding your dog&#39;s identification, license, and other tags. Dogs who aren&#39;t pullers can often walk on lead with just a collar. For dogs that pull, harnesses tend to be more comfortable by decreasing pressure on their neck. Harnesses are also more secure and harder to back out.
