I'll looking for a harness for my 6lb Pom. I'm regretful that he will pull too much and hurt his throat, but he also has an enlarged heart, so I heard a harness is more gentler for that reason as well.
Right now I have a harness that was made for senescent dogs because the straps are thicker but I don't like the fact that it still goes around his neck.
A: I have a 6lb yorkie and I hated the principle of using his collar because of his very sensitive neck (as you mentioned). I found a step in harness at petsmart. It doesnt go over his head (which my dog had a serious facer with - we couldnt get him in it very well/fast) and it doesnt touch his neck.
This picture is on a big dog, but they make ones for tiny little pups as well.

A pet transporter is best and equip it with a toy or chew bone or stuffed animal and never leave it unattended in the car.
The airline luxury plastic crates are generally the best all around solution. The soft crates can be okay when the pup is older and more well behaved (i.e.-it won't masticate its way out). But the plastic ones create the best den feeling.
If you are prospering on a walk, you should use a harness. But if you want to use the crate, it is not real good for traveling it is good for leaving at home. The most adroitly one for traveling is the plastic carrier.
A unique sized airline carrier is by far the safest, that is why the airlines use them.
crate or manageable carrier is safer
I like better the crate, because there is a better air flow than in the plastic carriers.
My people had the same problem last year in november and that question is easy,I would say that a harness is the easiest way because your terrior wont feel locked away and it will climate happy and wont bark that much. My dog is a yorkshire terrior and he has lots of fun on his harness because on a normal lead it would strain his back and neck and contribute to him sick. so if you ask me i would 100 percent say that a harness is the most humane and friendliest way for your dog, I hope ive...
if you are traveling in the car most pet specialty stores will have a harness and install belt attachment system for your small dog. putting a small dog in a crate or plastic carrier can make them really nervous about current in the car because they cannot see what is going on around them.
