For young puppies, it’s best to start with simple, comfortable equipment that allows them to move naturally while staying safe. A lightweight soft collar is useful for everyday wear and for attaching an ID tag, helping ensure your puppy can be easily identified if they ever get lost. For walks and early lead training, a well-fitted Y-shaped harness is often a good choice because it allows your puppy’s shoulders to move freely without restricting their natural gait. Unlike harnesses that sit straight across the chest, a Y-shaped design distributes pressure more comfortably across the body and supports healthy movement while your puppy is growing. Introducing this equipment gradually and pairing it with positive experiences will help your puppy feel comfortable wearing it.
If you’re in Guernsey you can order a harness direct from me, I can measure up and fit it for you.
