Wiggling out of a harness

Basenji Talk
  • I know this has been discussed before…I really need help deciding on the best collar and/or harness for Lillie. I have tried many collars and harnesses because every once in a while (when she spots a cat or squirrel) she wiggles herself out of her harness. Unfortunately, she has gotten loose a couple of times which we all know is extremely scary. I know the martingale collar has been discussed before. There are no pet stores in my borough that sells martingale collars so it is difficult for me to choose what is the best one. Does anyone has any suggestions for me? I need a collar and/or harness that Lillie cannot wiggle out of. I appreciate any help.
    Thanks.

  • You can go to www.Majesticcollars.com and get one made. You can send her an email and she will probably make it to your specifications. I bought one for my B, Sahara and it is absoutely beautiful. She does an excellent job and sends it on its way rather quickly. Tell her Charie sent you!

  • I got one made for Ruby from Around the Hounds…it is absolutely gorgeous and really well made. http://www.aroundthehounds.com/c237431.2.html

    I sent measurements to them to double check on the size. They were really nice and helpful, it took about 3 weeks (they were out of town for a week) from the day I placed the order.

    He is special needs guidance instrument if you are coaching your beag not to pull. They are the simply dog collars I determination use on a walk for the reason that I am fearful about them slipping/contravention standard collars!.

    We use martingales for our 2 b's, (www.halsbanden.com) - similar to those worn by whippets and greyhounds. They work fine, and they can't pull out of them.

    Thank you for the detail pictures. Excellent. I guess I would also get a XS for Talker and a XXS for Savannah. This really appears to be a nice alternative for the car. Thank you again!

    Thanks for that site, I may order the cooling jacket for my black basenji, he gets really hot and that might let us walk all of them in the summer(before dark). Your harness looks really great. Anne
