I don't mean to sound presumptious or anything, but if it's a common problem, you might want to try a figure eight harness - that is, one with no chest strap. There's less support for if she ends up dangling from it, but they're a lot harder to slip.
Then again, if she spends a lot of time in the trees, you might want the extra support. It sounds like she doesn't slip it too often anyway.
Actually the figure 8s are a lot easier to slip. When one part tightens the other part loosens so if she slipped the neck off then the rest follows easy. With the H the chest is separate so stays put like a belt and is a good back up. She normally doesn't mess with or slip her harness. I had loosened her harness because it was to tight, before, and now was to loose. Maybe she trimmed up for summer but she hasn't lost any weight.
Yeah, I use the term "figure eight," but I guess I should clarify that I'm not actually referring to the true figure eight ones, but the ones that have a separate belt for the neck and body, then a strap connecting them. Sorry about that.
Anyway yeah, if the slipping isn't a problem, the extra support is probably the wisest way to go. Seems like it was just one of those freak pet mishaps, hehe.
Longer leash would just mean her getting it tangled in branches. This one is a 16ft leash, originally but a bit shorter now
Even if the tree were near no others so she couldn't go wandering the tree tops we could have a long wait a head of us. She usually only starts trying to climb near the end of a walk meaning she is getting tired and thinking of finding a place to nap
I need to keep her with in reach when she is out. If she were interested she could climb our tree at home but she isn't
hey how much would it cost to get one of these bad boys into atlanta? i also want a wombat...
