Hi Bethany, we're so glad Kobe likes it! We've heard a lot of pawrents say that when dogs put on their harness, they really feel important, like they have a job to do (which of course is eating ICE CREAM and making humans hoppy!), and it makes them feel so official.

Whenever you go somewhere unfamiliar, it would be a fine idea to put it on. You never really know what kind of surfaces to expect.

But in my case, I wore the Webmaster all the time except when I slept, because I had a lot of steep RV stairs and a big truck to navigate when I was on the road with my folks. Later, it helped when I started slowing down and had problems getting up. My pawrents were always able to give me that extra boost.

I like to say that it's great to leave it on all the time because when you least expect to need it, that's when you'll need it.

But for Tripawds Spokesdog Wyatt Ray, who is a young, energetic (and insane) Tripawds puppy, he only wears it when he goes somewhere in our big truck, or is on the road in the RV. The rest of the time, he doesn't wear it at home because he has shown a tendency to think that the straps are really tasty. Since he's so young he doens't need an extra boost getting up. When he's older, he'll probably wear it all the time.

Hope this helps!
