It is interesting to hear your point of view. We have a Tweenie and often wonder if we should switch to a harness instead of the collar/leash. What is a head harness? Could you recommend a brand?

Am I? I don’t have a business selling harnesses. I have written articles about harnesses I have tested, use, and recommend. If one wants to try the ones I recommend then, yeah, they have to buy them. But no worries if not. It doesn’t make any difference to me.

You’re also in the bussines of selling or promoting harnesses.

I’ve been researching Dachshunds and back/neck issues for over a decade and I don’t agree. But I appreciate you sharing your experience.

A little. I don’t recommend them. The leash attaches under the jaw and on a short dog that puts the leash at a very strange angle. Also, if your Dachshund did pull or run and something and get jerked by the leash, it would really twist their neck. Since Dachshunds are known to rupture disks in their neck and back, that would not be good.

Great. I hope you like it!

Thank you
