A frequently asked question among dog owners: should I choose a collar or a harness? Both have their pros and cons. In this blog, we help you make the right choice based on your dog.
Collar: when yes?
-
Ideal for dogs that walk nicely next to you
-
Easy to put on and take off
-
Practical for short walks
-
Less suitable for dogs that pull a lot
Harness: when is it better?
-
Recommended for dogs that pull easily or have a sensitive neck.
-
Distributes pressure over chest and back
-
Often provides more control for energetic dogs
Combination use
Some owners use both, depending on the situation. A collar for quick walks, a harness for longer walks or urban environments.
What suits your dog?
Consider the breed, behavior, size, and health. Small breeds often benefit from a well-fitting harness. Large dogs that walk calmly can wear a sturdy collar.
There is no 'one size fits all'. What matters is what is comfortable and safe for your dog. At Jaap & Co we design with both options in mind - always stylish, always functional.
