[Sandcastles]

Yes, I agree - the Maltese are very, very delicate and cannot or should not ever be yanked or "jerked" about in any fashion whatsoever.

There are many great harnesses out there that are safe to use - regardless of the collar, harness or step-ins that one can use, one should never, ever apply force to a Maltese.

I have found that when I use the best treats that I can - my Fluffs will follow along effortlessly.

Best of luck,

Allie
