Anabelle requires a harness because she has a bad neck. I think most people who use harnesses use them just as a personal preference, or to relieve strain on the dog's neck.
Anabelle uses a Cesar Millan step in harness we found at Petco. I'm not a huge fan of the way it constantly moves around on her, but it sits very low so it doesn't put any strain on her neck.
