Is it good to leave a pet harness on 247?
The dog should associate the pet harness only with leaving the house for a walk, car ride, etc. When a harness is never taken off a dog, especially a puppy or young dog, the dog can outgrow it without the owner even being aware. This can/will result in surgery for the dog because the harness will imbed itself where the skin has grown over and around the straps on the underbelly, unnoticed by the owner.

What makes a dog harness effective?
A harness is effective because the dog will not choke or gag when going for a walk. A dog harness is effective in preventing damage to a dog's delicate neck area, and trachea which can easily occur if a dog pulls on the lead whilst wearing a standard dog collar. A dog harness sits on the dog's shoulders, not around the neck and the load is evenly distributed on the dog's chest if the dog pulls, so no choking or damage to the dog. Different types of dog harnesses are effective in curing/preventing certain activities, such as anti-pull harnesses which are designed to be used in conjunction with training, to stop a dog pulling.

Do dogs pull harder on a harness?
Yes, a harness actually encourages a dog to pull more than a regular collar does. Harnesses also make it easier for a dog to pull. ---- If a dog is trained properly not to put than a dog Harness will make no difference! It does not encourage a dog to pull it simply makes it more comfortable for the dog rather than being choked by a collar. If you are having trouble with a pulling dog try training it.... When i start to train a dog i always say a short walk without pulling is far better than a long walk pulling! What you do is you start walking with your dog, if it pulls forward you stop, wait for the dog to come back to you (even if this takes a while it is worth it) when the lead becomes slack start to walk again *if the dog does not come back towards you then walk back so the dog will automatically turn around to follow you causing a slack lead therefore you walk forward again. Repeat until your dog has pawfect heelwork! Patience is the key to succeeding in this training! ----
What should you do if your dog keeps chewing her harness?
First of all check the dog harness is correctly fitted, you should be able to get one finger comfortably under each side strap or two under the belly strap. Many dogs chew out of discomfort. Check the harness is not chafing your dog either side of the front legs - this can be caused either by a poor fit, too loose or too tight or a rough lining. If you need to replace your dog harness, consider a soft, comfortable fleece dog harness for your dog, as when correctly fitted these cannot chafe or irritate.

Should you walk a dog just before giving birth?
If your dog is coming into labor, you should not stress it. This means that if the dog appears to be asking for a walk then it is fine to take it for a short one, however, if the dog seems reluctant to go for a walk you should not force it. A dog will want to find a private, quiet place to have her puppies and you should try and provide this for her and try not to disturb her.
