It is necessary to keep your dog on a
leash when you take him out for a walk. Many owners simply opt for a collar as
the simplest and time-tested way to keep a dog under restraint. The collar may
have its advantages, but using it also shows that you are not considerate and
humane enough. The collar puts a restraint on his neck and throat and restricts
breathing. He simply feels uncomfortable. If he lunges, then there is a risk of
the collar harming him. Dogs can suffer injuries to the neck and spinal cord
when you put a collar on them. There is a better option to show you truly love
your pooch. It is the harness. A typical harness may be made of leather or
fabric comprising of two belts that go around the chest, between the forelegs
and along the line of the spine. The leash attaches to a point on the shoulder.
It is more comfortable and the harness also has several advantages.
