Which is better for my dogs a harness or a collar?

Is it like everything else and depends on your own taste and opinion on what is right or wrong for your pet? Some dog owners I’ve talked to claim that a dog harness is the best to use when walking on a leash, while others have told me that a collar gives you more control. I’m having a problem deciding whether a harness or collar is the best choice for my dogs. I’ve used collars in the past but recently switched to harnesses.

A harness is definitely a better choice, especially if you have smaller dogs. Harnesses are much more safe for small breeds, since they do tend to have a collapsing trachea. The collars tend to pull on their throats, causing distress and weakening the trachea.

Harnesses are also better since the dogs can't slip out of them as easily. With a collar, the dogs can figure out how to get out of it.

I agree with the others about harness. I think it also gives more control over the pet, as well as is less harmful. The risk of the pet escaping is far less as well. My sister's dog gets away from me very often. She jerks her head and her collar slips off. It is so irritating. Then she is running around without a collar. If someone finds her, they will not see she belongs to someone, unless they take her in to be scanned. She is microchip, but most people out here in the country will not take a dog in for that. If you use the harness, a collar can still be used for identification. If nothing else, by the best having the harness on along, it should indicate to someone that the dog is owned and not a stray.

I would have to go with A harness is far better to use on your dog or other pet than a collar. Collars can be very dangerous and chokes many dogs specially when they try and chase something or get it caught around something.
