Small Dog Harness Compared: Which Is Best for Shih Tzus?. Below is the gear list we'd actually buy, plus a quick routine so the gear gets used every day. Every product here supports harnesses & walking practice with short, reward-based sessions and one clear command.

How to use it

  1. Fit the gear: Two fingers under every strap; leash clipped to the front ring.
  2. Reward position: Treat at your seam whenever the leash hangs in a J.
  3. Stop, don't pull: Leash goes tight? Pause until it loosens, then move on.
  4. Add your command: Name the position ("heel" or "with me") as they arrive.
  5. Go new places: Short sessions on new streets; drop back if they struggle.
