Why is wearing a harness so important to small breed? Dog collars are widely used today to control ones dog. Although it's an effective in its use, it can be detrimental to some dogs, especially small breeds. Small dogs are known to suffer from problems related to their weak trachea (The trachea, commonly known as the windpipe, is a tube that allows passage of air from the back of the throat to the lungs). One of the reason the tracheal collapse can be brought on is by damage done from leash pulling, especially if you use a collar to walk your dog. This tracheal collapse is very common in small breed dogs such as Poodles, Yorkshire terriers, Chihuahua, and Pomeranians. Veterinarian recommends that switching to a harness that doesn't choke to prevent possible tracheal collapse. Why Gooby harness out of all harnesses? Gooby Harness, although similar in looks, differs significantly in functionality. Other harnesses have a look of a choke-free harness, but in reality do not carry out its function. When pulled, other harnesses fail to distribute the force around the neck because the lead is attached closely to the neck. This results in choking of the dog, thus failing to function as a choke-free harness. On the other hand, Gooby Harness's lead attachment is located at the bottom. This distributes the force evenly across the chest minimizing the force put upon the neck. In addition O-ring, also known as Freedom Ring, frees the dog from choking when pulled on the side because the lead attachment follows the leash as it is pulled left and right. Lastly, unlike many nylon harnesses that cause irritation to the dog, Gooby Freedom Harness is made with synthetic lambskin that is super soft. Synthetic lambskin is used instead of lambskin and leather because it retains positive factors of the lambskin and the leather without the high maintenance. Synthetic lambskin has the soft lambskin touch and it is machine washable. It doesn't stiffen or leave a permanent water mark after it is wet.
