I just had a nightmare experience! I was walking Wrigley and Mia and stopped for a couple of little boys who wanted to pet the dogs. As usual, Mia stayed behind my legs, as she is afraid of children. One of the boys starting running over to pet Mia, she got spooked and wiggled out of her Puppia! She ran across two lanes of traffic, across a greenbelt and another two lanes of traffic with me screaming like a mad woman and running with Wrigley to catch her. Thank God traffic wasn't bad and the couple of cars that were coming saw her and stopped even though it was dusk and it wasn't easy to see anything. She ran straight to my house and stopped to wait on us to get there.
I had heard that the latch on the leash could come loose and test it before we go on our walks each day. Didn't know it was possible for them to wiggle out of the harness--geez!!! The harness is not loose and is pretty snug on Mia.
Please be careful if you walk your dogs in a Puppia. It took me 30 minutes to stop shaking and hugging Mia.
I'm at a loss--do the people at Puppia know about this danger? This is a HUGE flaw in their design.
