Product Details

The Small Dog ChokeFree® Shoulder Collar Harness is unique.

Melody the Chihuahua wears the Red Size 9 Shoulder Collar step-in Harness for small dogs. The Choke-Free® Shoulder Collar Harness is an easy-to-use step-in harness for your little dog that looks like a collar but goes around your little dog's shoulders. (That's where the name "Shoulder Collar" comes from!) It has minimal coverage yet keeps our small dogs comfortable and safe on walks. As the name implies, the harness is choke-free since it is far from your small dog's throat. The Choke-Free Shoulder Collar Harness is made of natural leather that starts soft and gets softer over time.

The Choke-Free Shoulder Collar Harness is easy to put on your little dog with no hard-to-use pinch clasp, and provides redundant safety when you fasten your dog's leash. This dog harness is one of those "Why didn't I think of that?"  inventions!  Scroll down or click here for a short video demonstration.

Handmade in the USA

The Shoulder Collar harness has a U.S. patent, and it's handmade in the USA.  Above to the left is Melody the Chihuahua (all of 2 pounds!) in the Size 9. Above Etta the Brussels Griffon wears the Black in Size 19 (the first picture in the grouping).


Please note that all colors and sizes are available! If you don't see your size and color choice in the drop-down menus above, please contact us for your choice to be included in our next order from the manufacturer (approximately once a month). Call us at 847-677-0680 or email us at manager @ gollygear.com.

A small dog harness that's easy to use!

With no straps to adjust, the Shoulder Collar harness is easy to put on your little dog:  You'll put your pup's legs into the openings, and you'll bring the harness up over the dog's back. Lay the side with the leash ring on your little dog's back first and insert the leash ring through the slit on the other part, and press down to secure the velcro®. (Scroll down for a short video!) Attach the leash and you're ready to go! There is no pressure on your little dog's neck, and most dogs can't escape. Plus, your leash provides an extra layer of security. Made of super-soft natural leather, so there may be color variations.

No Hard-to-Use Clasps

This harness is perfect for people with arthritis in their hands, as the harness for small dogs fastens with velcro and has a unique locking system.

 

Sizing

Teddy, the French Bulldog, wears the Choke-Free Shoulder Collar Harness in Size 22. The size matches your dog's girth in inches: measure around the chest just behind the front legs. (A diagram showing where to measure is here - opens in a new window.) If the measurement is at the half-inch or toward the next inch, order a size up. (For example, if your dog measures 15 1/2 inches, order the Size 16 or 17 for a little extra room.) Booker, the Boston Terrier in Red above, measured exactly 18 inches and the Size 19 is perfect for him! And Teddy (French Bulldog in Black), to the right, measures 21 1/2 inches. The Size 22 fits him like a glove!
