Hi,
No, I currently don’t use one as I have a female dog now and I find it more
inconvenient to use one as you have to wait for the dog to pee, then put it on
for the number two.
If I had access to the silicon beads or whatever the Aussies use with the
harness for female dogs, I might start using one again. We have hard winters
here and using the harness for pottying the dog in the snow would be very
useful!
Also, my current girl is a great spender, and she will go pretty quickly most
of the time. The boys I used the harness on liked to walk and spendat the same
time! This made picking it up difficult sometimes!
hth,
Caitlyn and Maggie
