How do you attach the leash or do you just use a regular dog collar? I like to keep my excitable dog under control. Suggestions?

The leash does not attach to the vest. Use the collar you normally use. If you use a harness, the harness would be worn under the vest. You can attach the leash to the harness through a zippered opening at the top of the vest.

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

Where you hook the leash is a button you slide down to tighten the harness and to get it off you push the lock and slide the button back up to get it off. I love this leash because they can't lean over and pull out of it! I have Rat Terriers.

Slides over the head I have had a couple issues where it pops apart. For the money I would say, buy. But I always make sure to have 2 collars hooked to the leash.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

My dog ​​is the Dogs . While walking my dog always pulls . Collars are as a matter of do not think so. However, it is free when it is not my dog ​​for a walk.

Since your dog is so young, I would try a regular collar first. My dog was older and already a puller and the collar helped correct that problem.

It is not a good idea to tie a dog out unsupervised. As the other reviewers mention, the dog can chew through the nylon, can get wrapped up in and around anything within the radius of the leash, and the clip on the leash can stick open from "working" by the collar loop; all resulting in a loose and unattended pet. A fenced run is usually a better answer. Agression issues are often generated from tied dogs too. Talk to a trainer to verify.

no you can't attach a leash to it. it fits quite snug so if you want to you could probably put a harness of over top of the shirt. it has work wonder with my dog, she will even nap during a thunder storm while wearing it. I recommend it highly.

I cannot find any kind of a hook to clip a leash on mine. If that's important to you, you might want to try the Kurgo (I was pretty happy with that one - though the pockets aren't as roomy and it's all one piece). FWIW, my dog pulls a lot and I found a pinch collar works pretty well. Believe it or not, combined with a retractable leash, he's much more manageable. He has more freedom and responds better to the pinch collar. I know that's not the "proper" way to walk a dog, but I'm happy if I can walk him without getting sore arms!

I love these harnesses, but one of my dogs did the same thing. This has only happened once. Do you have the soft part of the harness in the back? You should be able to tighten both sides enough so he can't pull out. I usually hold the leash up a bit so he can't pull backwards. I do love the quick release.

Hi MH, There are a few things to consider. Is your dog strong enough to pull you out of the chair. If so, I wouldn't recommend this. Or is the dog capable of controlling your chair speed and possibly endangering you? If the dog is smaller and not one to pull then I think this is an excellent choice! The length of the leash is adjustable and could be used in a chair. I just wouldn't want you hurt. It does take core strength with a pulling dog like mine. Let us know how it goes!

Basically the leash is connected to the existing collar and goes around the chest of the dog. The slack is controlled by the metal clasp that connects to the existing collar. So he'd have to be able to get lose from his own collar for him to back out of it.

The more the dog pulls, the tighter the leash gets, regardless the direction the dog pulls. The problem I have with the leash is that with just normal well behaved walking the leash doesn't doesn't stay in the general position pictured but tends to slide back to around the dogs waist, below the ribs. I don't that really effects much, I just don't care for that.

Yes. But mine released way too easily. I returned the prong collar. If I were to try it again, I would use a special leash the connects to the prong collar and separately to the "regular" collar.

I recommend a Herm Sprenger prong collar AND guidance from a reputable trainer if you've never used one before. You should also consider a leash that accommodates the backup collar, especially if you choose the quick release prong collar. I agree that you should avoid "house brand" products. My first experience using one was for a nervous, fear aggressive 75 lb. dog; I found it enormously helpful. It also makes 'easy' dogs even easier.

No, there is no clip or other fastener to attach a leash. You would need a separate collar.
