In my previous blog entry, I wrote about the virtues of using
a harness in lieu of a collar for walking your dog. I started Chloe out with a
collar, but soon replaced it with a harness that she still uses today. The
manufacturer and model is the “Four Paws Comfort Control Harness” in size x-small
which implements a soft breathable mesh material for the chest and upper leg areas along with adjustable
straps at the lower legs and upper body. It is a simple easy-on and easy-off harness,
which only requires that I position her legs through each of the leg openings,
and a single snap of the quick release buckle provides the fastening on her
back.
Chloe’s leash, manufactured by “Kong”, is the six foot long “Bungee” model
that delivers less tension on her body if she pulls. The stretchy bungee
material located at the lower portion of the leash acts like a shock absorber
if she happens to bolt forward in a sudden impulse. The looping bungee material
also allows for a second grab point on the leash in bringing Chloe quickly to
my side if necessary.
One other point that can be made for these walking essentials
is my preference for aesthetics by having both the leash and harness match in
color. Interestingly enough both of these items come from two different
manufacturers that had a similar color palette. Chloe has received
multiple compliments on her fashionable ensemble in royal purple, which I just happen to think goes great with her sable coloring.
