Using a harness instead of a collar comes with benefits. This is especially true for aggressive dogs.<\/a> Read below to find out how a harness can benefit your companion!<\/p>\n

Control<\/h2>\n

Harnesses will allow you to more easily control your pal more. Control is easier with a harness than a collar because the harness distributes that pressure on the back and entire body. So, you can contain your pup when they get excited and tries to chase birds, cats, or other dogs while out on a walk.<\/p>\n

Safety<\/h2>\n

With better control comes better safety. You can more easily control where your dog is traveling. You can also prevent your pal from tangling you in their leash. Additionally, a dog committed to escaping will find a way to get free from its collar. Then they are at risk of running away or running into traffic. So, a harness allows for better safety and security.<\/p>\n

Prevent Neck Injuries<\/h2>\n

Because a harness distributes the pressure across the back and body, it will prevent neck and trachea injuries. Your pup can more easily pull on the leash when wearing a collar. Then, pulling on the collar will cause strain on the neck. However, a harness discourages pulling because it can’t pull you forward as easily. Small breeds and toy dogs are more prone to neck injury because of their size. By preventing pulling, your companion won’t be prone to tracheal collapse or other neck injuries and pain.<\/p>\n

Prevent Ocular Proptosis<\/h2>\n

Ocular proptosis<\/a> is the protruding of the eyeballs from the socket. This is caused by the pressure created around the neck when your pup pulls on its leash and collar. Because harnesses distribute the pressure across the body, the development of this condition is prevented.<\/p>\n

Harnesses are an overall safer option for both you and your pup. Consider ditching that old collar for a new harness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
