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!

I also have a puller..I have bling bling collars that I will sometimes put on them just for show. I have tried many different harnesses and have yet to find one that doesn't put pressure on their throats..I know what you mean about that choking sound...I don't walk the girls that often because of it. And, I love to walk them...If you come across a harness that doesn't make them choke...please share!

For Reuger I use a cat harness. It still puts some pressure on their throat but not a lot. I once saw a harness that their legs went through and it fastened on the top. I would love to find an expensive one of those.

Yes! His little nosy head was stuck and the sliding door was closing. He was fine, but I learned a good lesson....never take your eyes off of them until you're sure they're in the door, in the car, whatever. You know how inquisitive yorkies are. I'll look for the website for Max's harness which doesn't go near his neck. Gracie Leigh's is also fine and only cost about $6.00 in a pet store. I think hers is a 4 paws. She's not getting her fancy one until she's fully grown.
