Here are 5 health problems vets see in dogs that are walked with collars
That little cough after walks? That's throat damage from the collar. Vets are seeing more dogs with crushed windpipes needing surgery. This damage can't be fixed. Every pull makes it worse.
When dogs feel pressure from their collar, something called the 'opposition reflex' kicks in. Their brain tells them to pull even HARDER when they feel that pressure.
Vets say dogs who walk with collars have way more health problems. Neck problems, breathing issues, eye damage. Your dog can't tell you their collar is hurting them. The damage builds up until it's too late. By the time you see problems, the harm is already done.
"Take that collar off, you need to get a harness," says Dr. Anne Carter from Nottingham Trent University. "Even the 'best' collars put dangerous pressure on your dog's neck. We're seeing too many hurt dogs whose owners had no idea they were causing injury every single walk. The research is clear, collars hurt dogs."
"Every day you wait is another day of possible damage," warns Dr. Andrew Jones, former owner of Nelson Animal Hospital and author of multiple pet health books. This harness stops the choking right away and protects your dog's throat and neck. We're so sure this will help your dog, we offer a 60-day promise. But your dog's throat can't wait 60 days.

"I couldn't believe this D ring worked. Honestly I have a fussy French Bulldog that would drag me down the road for a walk and now with her harness and D ring she is so easy to walk."
“I brought the bundle and I tell you what—the D ring attachment for the front is a game changer when walking my dog. He walks so much better now and not to mention he looks so cute in his new get up.”
"A perfect fit for our frenchie! We got the D ring attachment to help with her pulling as she a strong pup. The harness fits her so well, easy to pop on with no getting stuck on her head, and sits well. There is no irritation to her skin and the colour is amazing."
"As a dog walker, having a D ring in the front that doesn't move to the back like they do with collars, it makes walking a breeze! The dogs don't feel like pulling - a reflex when the D ring moves behind the dog's head!"
"As professional Dog Walkers, we won't use anything but the best on the doggies in our care! We have over 50 regular clients dogs on our books and each has their own Dog Friendly Co. harness. They are so easy to put on and off, keep clean, and fit all the doggies in our care perfectly!"
"Once it arrived I was very pleased with the quality of if the harness and name tag. It looks absolutely amazing on my pup and good for pullers (which she is). A very easy one click slip on and as a dog Walker , couldn’t ask for anything easier but still safe that they can’t escape out of. 100% recommend!"
"Our beautiful boy used to pull on all the leads and harnesses for 7 years. We put his new harness on and he was a totally different guy. He is so timid when walking now and even walks beside me. Wish I would have bought this when he was a puppy"
"Using the harness with the 'No-pull D-ring' has stopped my dog from excessive pulling by 80%. Now our walks are so much enjoyable for both Lenny and I. I can highly recommend this product very easy to put on and comfortable for my dog."
"Nova hates putting her harness on, it's usually a game of chase but she only took about a minute too put her new harness on! And gets quicker everyday! She also walks better and doesn't pull as much!"
"I’m so pleased with this harness and D-ring. Immediately, Stewie stopped pulling on the lead. The harness is super easy to put on and take off. And everyone now knows his name when they say hello!"
"Best harness Hunter has ever worn. Gotten a lot of compliments when out at the park. And our dog walker loves the bungee lead "
"I met another dog walker who had one of these leads so it was great to already have a recommendation. Harrison’s harness fits him really well, we love the bungee lead and also how easy the harness is to click on and off. Harrison looks like such a smart boy in his matching blue set. Great quality. Thank you ! "
"We absaloutely love our harnesses! Fit perfectly. Great for the lead. Great for easy pulling back if needed. The boys look so handsome and the name tags are great, so many compliments! Thank you !!"
"We love this product! It is so easy to pop on and has made walking so much easier. Goose is pulling far less, and looks so handsome! "
"This harness is the best thing we’ve purchased! So easy to put on and take off specially with a puppy who just won’t sit still! I even love the added no pull attachment we purchased. Such good quality and love that the size is adjustable of the harness. Poppy wears an XXS. Definitely go off the size guide they provide "
"Our cattle dog used to be really difficult to walk - he would always pull on the leash and it felt like he'd choke himself with excitement. From the minute we put the DF Co harness on, he calmed right down. He no longer pulls, and simply walks along at an average pace. Walks are now so enjoyable and much more relaxing. We don't know how it works, but it works!! "
"10/10 would recommend! From a dog that did nothing but pull to now doesn't pull hardly ever (unless he's excited) i absolutely love the harness i got for Boof. About to order one for our XL dog as well i love it so much. So easy to put on when this guy is excited to get out for walks and great people knowing his name to ask to pat. Great product!"
"Fits my staffy perfectly! He gets quite excited when we go for walks and tends to pull at the start. This harness doesn’t choke him at all and feels very supportive!"
"Amazing quality harness, and no more pulling! We’ve tried numerous collars and training for her pulling but this harness has been great since we first used it! Both of us enjoy walking more than ever now!"
"Game Changer. I brought this for my three year old Golden Retriver Charlie. He was a struggle to walk he would pull constantly but since buying this harness with the no pull attachment he walks beside me and is a pleasure to walk. Highly recommend "
