Are harnesses good for Border Terriers?
Harnesses are an excellent choice for Border Terriers. As they are active and prone to pulling, a harness allows for better control while protecting their neck and spine. Additionally, pairing a harness with a lead ensures they remain safe and comfortable while exploring their surroundings.
