Please tell me if you can use this without a harness, maybe just a collar? thanks

Yes, I attach it to the collar itself and holds them in place comfortably but if you have a large dog I would recommend attaching it to a harness for mobility.

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

I wouldn't - a sudden stop could break thier neck... also, they could strangle, if they somehow got hung up.

I have never used it as a collar. My minies wear their body harness because if you hit breaks you could strangle your pet with collor only.

There is not a leash made into the jacket. It might be possible to attach one down through the next hole if you use a harness. If you use a collar there should be no problem.

Well, the dog needs to be in a harness to use this, and it is adjustable up to a certain point. My thoughts are that I think the strap would not be long enough, and I'm not sure they make harnesses that big! Maybe try a regular seat belt (just kidding)!!

No, it is a trainiing collar only! It is made of hard plastic pieces hooked together and would be dangerous to leave on. It is a great trainiing collar, especially to stop dogs from pulling on leash because it tightens when the dog pulls--which is another reason it would be dangerous to leave on!!

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

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.

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

You can do both if you want. There is a hook there in the front of the vest that you can put a leash on or you can place a collar on them as well. I was never able to use mine since my dog is too large to fit the vest. Good luck to you!

I wouldn't. The shock portion of the collar is probably bigger than your dog's neck

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 you can use a different collar. It can not be a thick collar. But another one can be used to slip through the unit.

Our 8 lb. Maltipoo wears a collar and not a harness. The leash that comes with the seat is too short and left our dog (which is very short) with no room to move at all so we extended it a few inches with another clip attached to the leash that come inside the seat and it works fine now. Our dog hated the seat at first but now she loves it and can see out the car windows and seems more satisfied.

This item is just a replacement prong kit for the collar. I have a Boston terrier that I use my collar on and while it seemed to bother him at first, I think it would have been the case with any collar since he's always been in a harness. He doesn't mind it at all now.

this system will not work for your dog. You will get tangled. Stick with a pinch collar.

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.

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

Not that I can see, nor is there an opening for a harness to loop through. Not that you should have a harness underneath it anyway. Since I use it for my dog, I would just have to lead her by a collar.
