Harness or collar?

Hi Everyone,
Wondered what your thoughts re : we have had Daisy on an harness since we 1st had her and she usually walks well without pulling.The harness is getting a little tight and we were going to buy a new one today,but a woman i know who has a Great Dane said a chain would be better...
Me and the OH are now undecided as Daisy has started to pull while walking and today she was a nightmare!
Any views would be appreciated x

Why does she think a chain would be better?

Either get a larger harness, or a normal collar.
If she walks well on a harness, then I would stick with one of those

if ur happy with the harness just get a bigger one. Make sure ur dog carries tags on the harness if she doesnt have a collar.

otherwise, get her a normal collar, please dont get a check chain

i find harnesses much easier on dogs who pull, as if they pull into a collar it can do damage to their throats. You could also try a training harness which will help stop any pulling

I would also recomend getting a harness.

A Walkezee is great for dogs who pull. Heres a link to the Walkezee website:
