I Was So Scared Today
In the afternoon I can home to take Gucci out for a walk being it was such a beautiful day. I put her collar and lease on, btw she needs a new collar, if I make it to loose the holes are wearing, and it slipped off one morning, luckly she didnt take off. So I made it a little tigher.
We are walking and she loves to run and pull me, yes she is not obedient lol. I was tryin to calm her down and she kept pulling away from me. All of a sudden she stopped and was making these funny sounds like she was choking. I didn't panic I picked her up and couldnt get that stupid collar off. I finally did and rubbed her throat and she was fine. I came in shaking, omg the sounds that she was making scared me. Did this ever happen to anyone else? I am thinking of buying her a harness tomorrow. What are your thoughts? When I think back to earlier it makes me want to cry. Thank God she is ok. |

We use harnesses for both our Yorkies. Chase has problems with choking very easily from just getting excited. It get's scary if he wears a collar. IMO the halter is much easier on our little ones.

Ah Gina, i'm sorry you got a scare, these little ones tend to have our nervs on edge at times.
Here the girls have never owned a collar, because of your incident with Gucci. Harnesses are the way to go with them

Gina, I thinks it a great idea to get the harness. I have never owned a collar for the babies, I was always afraid it could damage their trachea. Glad she's okay now, bless her heart.

Reuger makes noises like that all the time. I think that they call it reverse sneezing on YT. When he does it I just put my hand over his nose. I don't know if it distracts him from the sneezing or if it calms him down but it works. He does it enough that he'll come to me when he's doing it so I can help him out. He almost always does it after having a bath and running all over the house. It sounds a lot worse than it actually is. BTW-I agree you should get your dog a harness instead of a collar.

There are some beautiful leather harnesses online and the silk ones on YT look great!
I was in the elevator once with Max and his head got stuck when the sliding door closed! I panicked and tried to pull him out by his leash. After a few seconds, I realized that I could just pull the door open and he was fine. These little ones do give us such a scare sometimes!
