๐ฆบ Harness vs. Collar
Harnesses distribute force across the chest โ safer for dogs that pull. Collars can damage the trachea. Use a collar for ID tags, a harness for walks.
๐ Fit Check
You should fit two fingers between the harness and your dog's body. Too loose = escape. Too tight = chafing. Recheck fit monthly for growing puppies.
