Even if you're not down with coordinating with your furry friend, Thurman Murman's constantly rotating leash collection got me thinking – is it necessary to match the leash to the collar or harness? While Samson's sporting a set here, I know my pooch has many more harnesses than leashes . .

Walk time fills North with tail-waggin' joy, and it's definitely rein-in harnesses at my house! Call it personal preference, if you will, but I still think my pup's better suited with a harness like his smooshy breathren. I'm curious do you also put a collar on your harnessed pet like these two?

I'm always on the hunt for flashy products to let your pets get in on the wedding action! Now the bling may not be for every gal's pooch, but I know my heart flutters at the sight of the trademark Tiffany & Co. box. Sooo, why not treat an equally lucky pup to a matching lil blue satin harness ($35) for a future ring bearer to don during the ceremony and a Sniffany & Co.

I have fallen in love with Wonderdog! The oh-so-classy collars, leashes, and harnesses are slightly reminiscent of Crewmutts, add in a hint of Mascot, and a splash of NYC edge, and fresh out of the oven come these chic doggy duds. I'm especially loving the Smith Collection ($32) and have some plans to pick up a few for my own little pampered pal to sport around town.

I am still stunned by lavish collar options like the one Ritchie the bulldog wore at Harrods' 'Pet-à-Porter' fashion show and the most expensive ($1.8 million) 'Amour Amour' collar seen above. I like to spoil my pup but, until I have 1,600 diamonds, poor North will have to settle for leather harnesses. Be it a harness or a collar that your pet prefers, what's the most you would drop on your pets for one of the two?
Since I've already shared my love for harnesses, check out some common types below – it's possible to find ones that have several features all in one!
With all his wheezing, snorting, and coughing on a normal basis, North can't handle the additional pressure of walking while wearing a collar. I only buy harnesses and strongly recommend them for both training purposes and for safety, security, and comfort. A harness distributes the weight around a dog's body as he pulls, preventing the choking effect that collars can have on the more vigorous tuggers – they're actually at risk of neck and trachea injuries while simply having fun!
