Can this harnes be put on the dog &amp; left on? He only needs it for getting up &amp; down stairs and getting up when laying down.

The harness eventually slips off my dog if I leave it on him. It's not really designed to stay on.

I agree, my dog somehow had his fall off within a month, a metal ring in order to attach to the collar would be secure, great light though

We have not used the wheelchair in the house due to space constraints. The dog cannot lay down in the chair, I have only used it for walking. It is difficult for my dog to get into the apparatus, she is shying from it now due to the need to lift her belly into the chair. Once she is in she likes the freedom it gives her to walk. Have you thought of a back end hand held lift for the dog while in the house? It would necessitate you assisting the dog to move. We finally put down pieces of carpet in our kitchen to help the dog scoot herself along.

It is not safe to leave this on your dog as his regular collar. It can be hazardous, both because of the danger of choking and the danger of injury. I took a dog (a pit bull) off leash but left this collar on, turned my back for literally a few seconds, and the next thing I knew, she had her paw caught in the collar. This is a great training collar, but it's ONLY a training collar.

If your dogs are "diggers" on the bedspread I wouldn't recommend this bedspread. If they jump on the bed and just lay down and sleep it's fine.There is stitching on this design, if an occasional dog toenail caught a thread if could be pulled back from the underside of the bedspread and lookfine on the right side that shows on your bed. Again, not a good choice for roughhousing dogs.

I wish I could help, but we haven't been able to use ours very often. It's really difficult to get the leg straps on my dog since he can't stand to put them on. I'm still using a sling to get him outside. I hope you find a solution soon!

This does not hurt the dog's penis. At all. I used to remove the underbelly part, after getting outside. If they can walk, pee, and poop on their own, you can simply remove the back section after getting to the outside. Very simple to get back on.

Do not use with a collar..if your dog is thrown forward in case of an accident he could be seriously injured or die of a broken neck..harness always..soft one is ideal...that slips over body..try the company Wag I have an easy slip on one for our puppy...I put a pillow on the back seat so he is up higher and can see..

I am not sure if the steps are good for your dog or not. My dog is a small German Shepherd who can no longer jump into our vehicle. She weighs about 55 lbs. which is below what the steps are rated at. The snap together design of the steps did not hold together when she would run up them. Maybe if I had glued it together but I did not. All I can say is to use your own judgment. I did not like how it went together.

The only way a dog it going to get out of this is if they are laying down with their legs out in front of them... and they pull backwards... in that case, yes, they can get out of it... That said, while walking and standing up, it would be very difficult for a dog to get out.

Attaching it to the collar would be awful. Think about what would happen in an accident. Your dog would get thrown forward and then stopped abruptly by the neck... Get a harness or let your dog loose.

Yes. My dog got very upset and panicked because she could not move with this harness on. She has a longer than average body and I believe this was why the harness did not allow her to lay down and move side to side.

Yes, it can be left on - pretty breathable and readily washable - but if the harness slips down the handles can become a tripping hazard. That said, we love this thing - it'll save your back!

Yes. You can slide it part way up both legs and gently lift up the hind end of your dog as you pull the harness up. My dog could not stand at all and I used this for 11 months.

No, it will not stay up. I tried teaching my Mini Aussie rescue how to "burrow in" by luring with tiny treats (and he's a smart lil pup, does great at agility and is incredibly fast @ figuring out the dog-puzzle stuff I give him) but no go. I ended up having to leave it mostly-unzipped, wait til he hops in, then come over and zip it up because he quickly falls asleep from the coziness around him. Planning to head to a craft store to find a way to Velcro-attach some sort of semi-rigid-but-flexible strap around the opening so he doesn't need to depend on me to get snuggled.

The collar does have to slide over the dog's head. If your dog hates having a collar put on, you might be able to leave the collar on him. I would not recommend that to a home with multiple dog's but if your dog is an 'only dog', you could do that easily. It is a comfortable collar.

I would say no because you can't leave it on all the time because it could cause sores on the dogs neck. if you put it on the main collar, he/she wouldn't have his tags at the times you remove it.
