[Gpdd] [Care] Harness & leash?

[Kathy]

I had asked about this not to long ago. One person told me that they might 
be scared and run off when you attempt to put it on. One board I visit shows 
a leash that is obviously to small as a reason for not using it. They do 
come in larger sizes. I never decided to use one on Ebony or not. I wanted 
it more as something to grab onto to follow back to him. He tends to run 
into the rock wall in the front of the house. They do not actually "walk" in 
them.
