[Flagdu] Making my own guide dog harness? Feedback wanted!

[Debbie]

I have reflective tape on my harness which really only works with headlights
shining on it.  Also, unfortunately, no matter what color or size your dog
is, they are still going to be stepped on.  Pick out a harness that works
for you.  Debbie

Hi Mike,

With previous guide dogs I used a nylon harness.  My husband had a green one
and I had a blue one.  They were lighter in weight.  I don't remembered what
we paid for them, but I believe it was not as expensive as you suggested.  I
know the company made all colors.  I will ask my husband if the company is
still in business if you are interested.

Merry

I have a black guide dog& sometimes he gets stepped on because he blends in
with the floor. I am thinking of having a harness made of nylon strap's.
That would be very bright orange. It would look just like the guide dog
harness I have now! This would probably cost me over 100 dollars. Anyone
know why the schools are not putting out a harness that stands out like that
already? I would like to be seen with my dog easier. 

Any comments welcome

Mike
