What gear does your dog wear when they go out?

[Paige]

As the title says.

What leash? Collar? Harness?! Coat if it's cold?

Bandit wears a leather collar with his ID on it as well as a harness that clips in the front as he is less stressed to walk in a harness with a front clip (goes from reactive goof to best dog in the world). Then just a simple, flat, nylon black lead for his harness and we are out the door.

 

[Dizzy]

Collar, harness, lead.

 

[Laurelin]

A collar and lead most the time. Sometimes naked if we're just going to dad's property for them to run.

 

[PlottMom]

Flat leather collar or chain martingale with a leather leash for Liz, flexi if we're at work... She's the only one that wears coats if it's bitterly cold.

Rage gets a chain martingale if Bear is with us, otherwise a prong in the ice, lol. Leather lead. She wears a leather tag collar too.

Bear wears a prong, period - he's lived his whole life in the boondocks so when I have him in town I need a little more control as he's like as big as I am he also wears his flat leather tag collar.

Daisy just struts around the yard in her Paco collar - I don't walk her far with the others or she starts to limp

When it's cold, harnesses (those comfortable ones) and on top of that, coats. It's kind of a hassle putting all that on...getting the leash through the coat to hook onto the harness.

When it's not cold, just harnesses and leashes. Sometimes Chulita wears a neat little t-shirt that has those thermal holes in it....2 layered thing and it has a reinforced strap sewn on the back with a metal thing to hook a leash to. I really like that. It's just for when there's a little bit of a chill. It has velcro straps and is kind of a cross between a shirt and a harness.

Living in the city, both dogs wear a nylon collar with name tag, microchip tag, and rabies tag. I usually just walk Buzz with a leash attached to that in the winter because he wears coats so it's difficult to put a harness on over those. In nicer weather, he wears a premier sure-fit harness.

Bailey wears a H-style harness when we go to play ball or if I just have her out for a walk. I use an easy walk if I'm taking her out "in public" but not on daily walks.

They have way more things than they need as evidenced by what little they actually wear/use!

Elsie wears a harness, a collar with tags, and a leash. I've got two collars, two harnesses, and bunches of leashes, so it depends on the situation.

Zobby wears a tag collar, a harness, and usually my boyfriend walks him on a flexi. Teh horrorz.

 

[nikkiluvsu15]

Depends on where we are going.

Just outside in my yard? Collar and tags.
Walk? Collar, tags and leash.
Agility? Collar. She has her leash on when it isn't her turn, obviously! Lol

I have multiple collars so usually alternate those. However, 99% of the time the leash I use is my Ella's Lead Slip Lead. The tags are her rabies tag and Fetching tag.

 

[Moth]

Most of the time rolled leather collars with their tags & leather leashes.

If it is needed they wear martingales.

They also have coats that they wear if it is cold out and we are out there longer than for just a potty break...so if we go hiking in the snow they have their coats

 

[Maxy24]

Harness, leash, I carry treats. If it's really cold I'll put a sweater on him but it really just makes me feel better, I don't think he needs it. He hasn't had to wear it yet this year, I like it more for when it's snowing.


When I go to the park He has his 50 ft. leash. If we're going somewhere that might cause him to react to people he'll wear his no pull harness.

 

[Shai]

Flat buckle collar or naked, depending on where we are going.

Possibly backpacks, if we're going hiking.

 

[Snark]

Usually martingale collars (all of my dogs have thick necks and can easily slip out of flat collars, although they also wear their flat collars with tags), leashes, sometimes flexi leashes if I'm walking them in open, non-fenced areas. Murph and Mick don't need coats (they have their own double coats) but Riley will wear one, depending on how cold it is and if we're just walking.

For agility, Riley does wear a flat collar, and a leash, while we're waiting our turn. The building we practice in isn't heated so I'll throw a coat on him between runs if it's really cold (and get teased by the Aussie people).

 

[Kristen1980]

Both dogs wear collars with tags, leash attached If its a cool day they wear sweaters but if its a warm day they where their cute sun dresses. Yes.. I am the kind of dog person that dresses their dogs up just to trot around the block

 

[AdrianneIsabel]

Just a collar and flat 4-6 foot leash for Arnold, Backup, and Sloan. Shamoo gets a harness.

 

[BostonBanker]

Somewhere that they will be walking on leash - buckle collar and leash for Meg, ComfortSport harness and leash for Gusto.

Agility - Martingale lead/collar combo for Meg, harness and leash for Gusto (will run naked when he is actually doing more equipment so he doesn't get stuck on stuff).

Hiking off leash - buckle collars with tags for both, leashes to get from the car to the trail.

Both wear coats if it is much below freezing. Gusto probably wouldn't care either way. Meg hates the cold and really needs it.

 

[Paige]

Bandit wears his harness hiking too. I just prefer it incase it's needed ever. He is so much more comfortable walking on a harness. Plus we also go biking so I will hook it on the back hook if he has to be on leash.

 

[Skivvies]

Nylon collar with her tags, and a leather leash attached to her harness.

If it's cold out, she'll wear a coat. She'll also sometimes go out in a t-shirt, bows, or bandanna if I'm feeling silly.

 

[Sit Stay]

Just outside at our place she wears a flimsy nylon collar with her tags. At night she gets and LCD collar on too.

Out and about she wears one of her many many flat collars and tags. Leather leash.

Obedience she always wears the same flat leather collar and leather leash. No tags.

Agility she wears a slip lead and I keep a nylon collar with our phone # embroidered on it for ID.

Tracking or hiking on-leash she wears her harness, the flimsy tag collar she wears at home, and a 30 foot cotton line. Hiking off leash she just wears the at home collar and I pack a leather 6 foot leash.

 

[Michiyo-Fir]

Just a harness and lead.

If it's REALLY cold, i'll put a sweater on her but she HATES it so much. Unless it's -15C or lower, she doesn't need anything.

Like others it depends on where we are going. If going into businesses Sheena has either a backpack, harness with support or a vest along with her leash, and collar. If we are just going out to where all dogs are allowed then both Luna and Sheena have a leash and collar.
