Hi! I'm pretty average with my sewing capabilities. But this is the 4th time i've repaired my pups (5 mo) harness and leash. This time instead of hand sewing repair, i'm glad my sewing machine could do the job with the TopDog harness that i picked up at PetsMart. Is there a more durable harness out there? I guess it's also my fault, that i left her harness on while she was in her crate .
