So you can use this with just a collar, but ideally you should use it with a harness?

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..

Do NOT use this with a collar under any circumstances! ONLY use this seat belt if your dog is wearing a harness.

Because you are in the car there is a greater risk of injury to the dog. If you stop short or someone hits you and the dog gets thrown around, they could choke from the tension on the collar. If they go to stick their head out the window it might not be very comfortable for them to have that tension around their necks and we want them to enjoy their time in the car! hope that helps!

Either way but a harness is much more secure and won't choke the dog if you stop suddenly, or god forbid are in a crash, and the dog flies off the seat. A harness "snugs them up" more safely. A must have for dogs in autos, and of course NEVER in the front seat where an air bag can kill them.

Yes! There's a built in leash-type thing with a clip inside that you can hook to a collar or harness. I think it's one of its best features.

I use a body harness on my lab. It depends on how much your dog pulls. This was a great purchase and I can now run with both dogs do much easier.

can be used either way as a collar or second collar... my friend just loves it & she uses it at night when she walks her dog. Just make sure to adjust it to fit him and its not loose on him.

I've never used a harness so I don't know whether it would work or not, but there definitely isn't any sort of slit or hole in the top of the vest. I use the vest with a collar. So if the ring to attach to a leash on your harness isn't positioned much differently than what is needed to attach to a regular collar, this vest may work for you. As someone else mentioned, the neck opening does sit back far enough that it seems like it ought to work. On the other hand, if the ring on your harness is in a completely different place than that for a typical collar, the vest may not work for you.

Mitchel N. is right - there is only 1 place to hook to a dog collar but, you could easily attach another one. My 27lb pug/boston mix rides in it so your dogs will fit no problem! ... as long as they get along enough to be in close quarters :)

I don't know that you can't; but, due to size, I don't think you would want to. This collar will be so big that I don't think you or the dog will be happy very long. Believe me, this collar is for big unrully dogs only in my opinion. Even if you chaged the strap part to something smaller, the electronic box part is still way to big for a small dog.

I have used both collars, I wouldn't use a slip collar but a metal pinch collar can work if your dog need that. This one is safer and a bit less painful

There is a small strap with a hook on it and you hook it to there collar or harness. I like using a harness better it restricts there movement a little more

I think a harness is best for an energetic dog especially if s/he won't be closely supervised. My experience is that the dog is less likely to get tangled, injured or free with a harness as opposed to collar

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.

You can use either ring - the front or back on the harness. I didn't have any issues with it becoming too loose. Just make sure the harness is fit properly and it should work.

Yes no problem. The collar is adjustable. You may not be able ro get it real tight but it works on my small dog about that size.

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

Yes but the reciever might be a little large and heavy for your dog. Saftey wise I would see no problem, do to the fact you can set it so low. I'd recommend there collars to anyone. I own two sets of them and would buy another from them.

If you are consistent and work with them a lot it will train them to walk politely with a normal collar. You can't just use the collar and then expect that they will know to translate that behavior to a regular one. There are training instructions provided in the package if I recall correctly. Personally I just this continually with my dog because it is safer than having the pressure on the neck.

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