It’s been fun going through the new dog harnesses for small dogs showing up at the chihuahua clothes shop: we just got in these new harness vests for little dogs that work great as the body harness for dogs you’re taking on their walks, but that are also fashionable and look cool, and not like a tangled web of neon nylon like some of the harnesses of little dog’s I’ve seen. Along with the chihuahua clothes and small dog dresses we carry that have the harness loop built right into the outfit, these harnesses are at the top in terms of style for your little dog!
Actually just a few days ago, I had the chance to see a pair of gorgeous dachshund harnesses on these two little dogs at the vet in the marina area here in Puerto Vallarta. I had to take Namaste the chihuahua in to get her eyes checked because they’ve been very red over the past few days and I just wanted to be safe. But these two dachshunds came in leashed up on their designer dog harnesses for smaller doggies, and they looked so stylish! I’ve seen a lot of little chihuahuas and yorkies and shi tzus and other small dogs on the marina walk here in PV that have a dog harness for small dog pets on them, but few have ever compared with these super stylin’ little silvery emerald green vest harnesses these dachshunds were wearing at the vet’s office!
I notice some owners talking about buying a dog harness to stop pulling on their little dog, or rather, to get their little dog to stop pulling on the walk. As someone who has owned a few dogs in his time and worked with literally thousands of rescue dogs at shelters around the world, I’ve never seen a dog harness make your dog stop pulling you, in fact it’s usually the opposite: it creates a pulling/tracking reaction in your dog a lot of the time, which is why search and rescue workers use them on their dogs all the time. But for the stylish small dog owner, I am definitely for the dog harness UK style trend of the dog harness pink lace corset small dog harness vests that seem to be all over the place in the gay district of Puerto Vallarta right now! I’m not saying it’s going to make your walk any easier, but it sure will make your little dog stand out, and if you do it right, your little chihuahueño could be the next local fashion icon where you live and frequent!
Around the marina sidewalk surrounding the Pacific Ocean here in Vallarta, I get to see a lot of little pups sporting their harnesses for small dogs on their walks with their energetic owners. They come breezing by, running along the red brick roads and up, onto the raised pebble sidewalks, under the white mast tarps and into the long stretches of marina walkway along the bay, waves lapping up against the shore rocks along the beach, people and their pet dogs out and enjoying the sun in their stylish small dog attire, and for some owners, the harness for dogs allows them to enjoy these moments more because they can relax with the though that their little dog’s neck isn’t going to be hurt by any sudden jerks or movements on the leash. Personally, I’m of the opinion that when it comes to the debate between collars and dog leads and harnesses, the collar-lead system works better. In fact, I learned a simple trick a little while ago for how to use a leash to walk your dog, without any collar, that mimics the natural tightening of a choke collar, only without the heavy metal piece of ugly jewelry around your dog’s neck! For me, I find this works best with how I walk my chihuahuas and other smaller foster dogs.
Anyway, I’m getting a little off track here: I think the nylon dog harnesses for little dogs are great, I think the leather harness for dogs and those other walking harness for dogs contraptions are great–anything that gets you out of the house and into nature with your dog, walking together, is a good thing if you ask me. Personally, I’m more into the fashionable harness for small dog styles that you can find today, but that’s coming from a guy who’s completely immersed in the world of clothing for chihuahuas, so I’m definitely fashion biased! But overall, you have to go have to choose a small harness for your little dog that YOU like.
Dog harnesses for small dogs: where to look for them:
We carry a very quality selection of chihuahua harnesses and fashionable dog harnesses for small dogs at the Chihuahua Shop, and I invite you to check them out. Our competitor GW Little also has a good but different selection of these little dog harnesses, and so I would check those out too, were I in the position of searching for a good harness for my chihuahua right now. I hope that helps, and good luck in your search!
UPDATE: It’s come to attention that some chihuahua owners aren’t just looking for walking harnesses, but also car harnesses for strapping your little dog into the seat when you’re driving with her! For these car harnesses for small dogs, I’d first read up about them here:
