Do you have to use a harness or can it just attach to the collar?

We prefer to use a harness, we think it's safer. The Pupzip works well for our beagle.

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.

If you use it with a collar, it would not be safe incase of accident. However, I returned this item and it was neither strong enough for my German Shepherd or taut enough.

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.

I don't adjust the collar every time I put it on. It's still adjusted from the last wear. So I just slip it over his nose then clip the part that is snug under his head. Easy ;)

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.

Karine, That item will not work as an add-on collar. Unfortunately the collar you need has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

You do not have to, but I have found that my dogs, will get to the wire and move even thought they have collar on. The Rock does have its section which the wire connect to.

There is no slot in the Thundershirt to attach a leash to a harness, but you can attach a leash to a regular collar.

Buy a stainless tag and secure it on a collar that doesn't hang loosely on the dog's neck. It sounds like the collar you're using is too loose

You can attach it to either one. I attach it to a harness but also to my puppy's Gentle Leader..either way it works great. He still pulls quit a bit when I walk him so having him pull on my body rather than my arm works out nicely...before my arm got very sore. Also, I keep him tethered to me in the house at times so I can move about but keep my eye on him. One of my finds has a full grown dog and she uses The Buddy System and the puppy trainer also recommended it. Be careful about the size you order...my trainer said to order a medium not the small even though I'm only 5'2" and weight 105. Here' some detail from the product description:The Regular Dog System is available in 3 adjustable belt sizes which can accommodate waists from 22" to 60". The Small Dog System is offered only in Black with 1 adjustable belt size accommodating waists from 27 to 50. You can see that the small size may not accommodate a smaller waist so depending on your needs be careful about the size you order.

I didn't use a collar. It's optional but a collar will help secure it more. Especially if your pet is actively trying to remove it.

My dogs tags are on a separate collar and are not on the harness at all. She wears the collar all the time but only wears the harness when we go out because I am required to have a leash on her.

Yes, there is a safety strap which clips to the dog's harness, so that if I was ever in an accident, the dog wouldn't go through the windshield or out the window. Incidentally, I would never, ever use a collar on a dog, but rather a harness, so that the dog is never in danger of being choked. I am very happy with my Outward Hound!

No u need to put harness on dog . I got one for about $8. At Petco. There is a straps few inches long in upper center of seat designed to quickly & easily hook onto the harness. I leave the leash hooked on too, so when taking her out of seat I have good control.

No hole, so it won't work with a harness type collar, but it would be fine with a regular collar.

This should never be attached to a collar. Use a sturdy harness with chest plate to distribute impact energy from a car accident.

It has a slit in the back for the leash to hook to the collar, so it might work with a harness too.

It's a collar on its own. No need to use another collar with this one. You can hook your leash and dog tags to the loop and go.
