What is the effect of harness or collar on the canine neck anatomy of the Yorkie?
There are two parts of the throat of the Yorkshire Terrier that are trachea and esophagus located in the region near to the vocal cords. The trachea of the dog is not protected by the bone but there are cartilage rings which are not tough like bones, so it is necessary not to pressurize the trachea with the collar.

If you use a collar for your dog then it pressurizes the trachea which is not secure for the little Yorkie but healthy dogs are able to bear the pressure. The Yorkies who wear the collar for a long time, a little pressure on the neck might cause serious injury. It will also cause trouble to little Yorkies in eating and exercise.
