How do you attach the leash or do you just use a regular dog collar? I like to keep my excitable dog under control. Suggestions?

The leash does not attach to the vest. Use the collar you normally use. If you use a harness, the harness would be worn under the vest. You can attach the leash to the harness through a zippered opening at the top of the vest.

Use a regular collar. I even use an Easy Walk Harness with mine (underneath the vest)! LOVE this vest and so does Kody. I sewed my Service Dog patches to it as well. It is very visible and wonderful for this purpose.

There will be enough room for you to have a standard collar around the neck, If you have a harness, there is a slit in the top of the vest where you can connect the leash. Hope this helps :)

There is a zipper between the shoulder blade area that can be opened for a leash to connect to a harness, if that is what you are using. I don't use it, since I get better control with a neck collar up high behind the ears.

The collar thread through two brackets at the sides and around the front to stabilize it, you have two size of electrodes depending on the fur of your dog, short fur you use the smaller ones, long or thick the other. Hope this helps.

I can't answer your question because I don't tie my dogs in the yard. It's an excellent harness to "walk" your dog in. I have two, in different sizes for different dogs. My smaller dog is very hyper and active. It calms her down when we walk with the harness. My larger dog is typically not good just with a leash on the collar. She walks so much better with the harness. Because the harness goes around the body, it tends not to pull. Sorry for the long answer, but I can say it's an excellent harness and DO TRY TO WALK YOUR DOG IN IT.

I don't put it on a leash..recommendation is to attach it to the front of your body...I attach to waistband pants I am wearing, or even top of waistband on underwear.

If the collar is adjusted correctly you should be able to regain control. If you do have a problem keeping the collar on use an over the shoulders harness as a secondary safety on a separate leash.

I have a similar problem with my jealous Australian Shephard. I have considered using the collar BUT, it would mean watching the dog all day until he began acting up. Are you willing to spend all your free time watching him? I'm trying to come up with a better idea.

The leash helps pull on the back legs...in theory. It ended up pulling the throat most of the time and didn't inhibit pulling. As to keep a dog from jumping, I dont know if it would work. You do have the ability to tighten the harness on its own, but they still have pretty full range of the legs.

It has 2 D-rings to attach leashes. I use a leash that has a metal clip-on hook on both ends. I haven't tried to make it work with a standard leash.

No, there is no clip or other fastener to attach a leash. You would need a separate collar.

Hi MH, There are a few things to consider. Is your dog strong enough to pull you out of the chair. If so, I wouldn't recommend this. Or is the dog capable of controlling your chair speed and possibly endangering you? If the dog is smaller and not one to pull then I think this is an excellent choice! The length of the leash is adjustable and could be used in a chair. I just wouldn't want you hurt. It does take core strength with a pulling dog like mine. Let us know how it goes!

Please DON'T attach to a collar. Attaching to a collar is truly dangerous. Even if you don't stop suddenly, if your dog slips even half way off the seat he or she could easily strangle or break his or her neck. Yes a halter costs extra but it's your dog's life we are talking about here.

If you are asking about collars that go around the neck as opposed to a harness, yes, the Sporn Double Dog Leash works fine without tangling. It is adjustable and the swivel works well. If you are referring to the "Gentle Leader", I would assume you would not have a problem there either.

Although I found it a bit perplexing in the beginning, it is actually very easy. I lay it on the floor in front of me with the wrong side up & the size tag closest to me. Then I put my dog in front of that & step his front legs into the leg openings. Then just bring the Velcros together across the back of his neck & then fasten the closures & attach his leash & away we go. Hope this helps.

I cannot find any kind of a hook to clip a leash on mine. If that's important to you, you might want to try the Kurgo (I was pretty happy with that one - though the pockets aren't as roomy and it's all one piece). FWIW, my dog pulls a lot and I found a pinch collar works pretty well. Believe it or not, combined with a retractable leash, he's much more manageable. He has more freedom and responds better to the pinch collar. I know that's not the "proper" way to walk a dog, but I'm happy if I can walk him without getting sore arms!

I worry about ALL prong collars falling off, they tend to twist and release themselves. I put a short rope connecting the round ring on the prong collar to another collar (flat buckle or nylon choke) this way If the prong comes loose, the dog will still be connected to the leash. Photo is on the Amazon site for Herm Springer prong collar. Best of luck with your lab! :)

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar
