Can your dog wear this and still do it's "business" ?

Yes". There is only a strap with Velcro under the belly and the back is open. They can do all they need to do with coats on. It is vey cold right now,

Yes the second strap is on the chest/stomach region, so there is plenty of space between the strap and dogs privates.

Oh, yes he can. Just make sure the belt is snug (velcrow tightly). This is because my dog still likes to squat to pee & not lift his leg. Hope this helps you decide.

Yes. I have a 70lb greyhound male, the strap doesn't get in the way at all.

Hello. No, they can pee and it wont get onto the harness. I have a German Shepherd and she wears it all day long. She can not walk by herself but when I help her with the harness she can still move her legs. We take her out to do her stuff and we hold her with the harness while she pees.

Yes but you need to make sure you the velcro is securely around the leg. The boot has traction around the top of the boot and sometimes the boot will turn as the dog walks but mine doesn't seem to mind. The dogs have to get used to wearing them so they may not move a lot at first but keep trying they will.

It can but I would give him a break as much as possible. It has a cut out so they can still go to the bathroom but it can rub. Our female has an infection in that area now. The vet can't say for sure if it's caused by her wearing this too much, but she said it isn't helping either. So we try not to leave it on for extended periods like all night or during the day when we're working.

It depends on the dog. I have two vizslas. One still needs the collar periodically, while the other rarely needs it. The one that needs the collar won't engage in the behavior at all with the collar on, but will on occasion if I take it off.

No. Just make sure it's tight enough around their neck and the fur will move out of the way.

Positive training doesn't always work. This collar is far from abusive and my GSD is estatic to put it on. I have put it on myself before ever using it on her. The prongs are not sharp and do not dig into the skin. she only wears it for walks or training. When used properly these collars are far from abusive.

No, but the Medium is a bit too big for our skinny, but tall, 30 lb. dog. It works fine worn behind her normal collar, though.

I agree with the other answer that if sized and fitted correctly, the dog shouldn't be able to back out of it.

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.

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.

yes, and if well sized without any smudging too! the dog must be supervised while wearing, it get tip over. It worked well for my Jake Russel, . he was 30 pounds and took the "small" wheel chair.

According to the instructions, the collar needs to fairly tight. If you can get it buckled pretty easily, it is probably too loose. Make sure the dog is standing when you put on the collar. I have to stand over my dog and hold her up with my knees at her hips to put on the collar. I found that the collar can be a little looser and still work. But it still needs to tight enough to stay in place.

Well my basset hound isn't very bright so he just wears it all the time I would think it depends on the intelligence level of your dog and breed

As long as the leather is no thicker than the average dog collar I don't see why not.

You could wear two at one time next to each other maybe. I am not sure since I only have one. My dog loves it and it is so cute!

I'm sure every dog will be different. In our case, we only put it on her when there is a stressful situation, such as a thunderstorm. After only a couple times, she associated the shirt with comfort & became much calmer. After a few times, she didn't even seem to need the shirt, but that didn't last too long. Now we just put it on her when the noise starts, & take it off whenever the stressor is finished.
