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.

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.

There is no leash connection. I use a separate harness sandwiched between the layers with no problems.

I actually had to go get a prong collar...I needed to correct my dog and not choke her. This collar allowed my dog to pull, actually almost stand up on her hind legs while pulling against the leash...it would begin to choke her.

Basically the leash is connected to the existing collar and goes around the chest of the dog. The slack is controlled by the metal clasp that connects to the existing collar. So he'd have to be able to get lose from his own collar for him to back out of it.

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly, are you planning to run the line to keep her in your yard when you are not home? Some dogs learn that the collar is what makes the difference, others don't ever figure it out. Honestly having it both ways is complicated and not something I would recommend.

Any collar with a "D" ring to hook the leash to will work great for attaching all tags too. I also suggest to micro chip your animals because all collars can be removed.

I have never tried to attach it to the leash because I always put it on my pants loop (which is easy). Also, I have a retractable leash, so I don't think that would work. Its a pretty big loop, so I don't think I would try attaching it to a leash in any case. I love the product and would always recommend it. This is simple to use and inexpensive, so I say go for it!!!!

No, it is designed to be worn as a second collar, close to the skin (snug) as it is activated by friction with the skin-Our dogs wear their regular collars with tags as well. I believe it is designed as a breakaway, so don't attach a leash, etc.

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 would just attach your whole thing to your leash. then when you need a bag pull one out. When you're done un attach till the next walk. hope it helps.

I love these harnesses, but one of my dogs did the same thing. This has only happened once. Do you have the soft part of the harness in the back? You should be able to tighten both sides enough so he can't pull out. I usually hold the leash up a bit so he can't pull backwards. I do love the quick release.

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 bought it for the lifting and supporting and did not try on a leash. It can be used that way but as already suggested, it might slip a bit for other than a calm walk. I don't think it is intended to aid in controlling a dog on a leash.

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.
