help deciding on which collar or harness is best for my EB

[MikeyBoi]

Hello EBN members....i got a question to ask,AyeMa is a very friendly to humans and if she sees people she would get very excited and eagerly try to go to them .Right now shes on the easy walk harness.Which turn her around if she try to runs.But sometime she launch pretty strong.and flip over.So im thinkim of usin a collar,but no idea on what kind and how to not let her run off ,like is there a move i can do to the collar.Like she will stay if i talk loud but she will lay down and try again in a few second .

I think the majority of the people will suggest you use a harness. Not a collar. Collars are so dangerous for this breed..with their labored breathing, trachea problems and esophagus issues. Keep everything away from the neck..and stay with the harness especially if she tugs. Now..what type of harness will more than likely be a trial and error type of thing. We use the step in for Orion....currently the puppy ones. Hopefully she will decide to grow and we can graduate to a big girl harness.

Yea we use to use that but with that she keep tryin to pull ....this only happen when people is around because she love the attentions. At first it nice cute and all ,but sometimes its just a little too much so we correct her everytime . But like she forgets as soon as we see the next person lol.

I have two collars and 1 harness for Watson. When we do walks and go out we use the Kong harness. It is expensive compared to other brands but it is very strong and sturdy like all Kong products. I like it alot. I use the collar for short potty breaks. If you look at my flower picture thread, Watson is modeling the Kong harness.

I love the Kong Harness! I use it every time we go on a walk or they are gonna be on a leash. I use collars only for when they are playing in the yard, they use collars in the yard because when I had the harnesses on they get so dirty from the rolling around and playing!

If she "Launches pretty hard" do NOT put her in a collar. Get a good fitting harness but more importantly teach her not to "launch" .
