When walking your French Bulldog, both collars and harnesses have their place, but generally, a harness is the safer and more secure choice for your pup. Since French Bulldogs are small but mighty dogs, a well-fitted harness gives you better control without putting pressure on their neck.

You might find it handy to switch between a harness and collar depending on the activity. For longer walks or meeting other dogs, a harness is recommended when you’re leaving the house. When you’re home, a collar is plenty if your Frenchie is well-trained, if you need something for ID purposes, or if you need to act fast and put a lead on your dog.
