It would be apt to say that a Harness has a much more humane approach. But since Dobermans are powerful dogs the owner needs a lot of strength to control the dog with a harness. Hence, many owners still prefer a collar.

It is ultimately for you to decide if a harness or a collar suits your dog handling techniques. But either one you choose, you will need a strong powerful Leash to go with it. Because that’s what is finally keeping your dog in your control.
