| And NOW the terrier comes out! Well it looks like Cerulean can't go outside without a harness and leash anymore. At first you couldn't get him to go outside on his own and now he's ripping and running all over the lawn fighting sticks, weeds, grass and rolling all over the place. I tried to put his harness on after seeing this and he fought me sooooo now he's inside and not enjoying it. I'm going to try again after his nap hoping he's a little more calm. I have a Puppia harness but hate that I have to put it over his biting little face and I also have a step in one but he's still too small. Not to mention he fights his way out of the Puppia. |

| so cute, so funny, boy do I remember those days. You have to show him you are the ALPHA dog, other wise he will take over your life. Although it is really funny and oh so cute, so hard to be firm, you have to. When he is biting tell him no biting, when he is fighting the harness tell him nooo, you do not have to raise your voice, but be firm, show him you mean it. Even tho they are small lil critters they have BIG attitudes and for their safety they need training. It is hard to be firm with them because they are so darn cute when acting like a lil brat, but training to obey is a must for their safety, I always called it humanizing the puppies, Remember, he is a baby, just like a 2 y/o who has to be taught right from wrong. Good luck, he sounds just too cute and naughty.

| We're very firm with him...well the kids aren't. I'm getting on them though. Does anyone know where I can get a harness small enough to fit a 2 pounder? The ones I have are xs but he can still walk out of them easily. |

| Thanks for the ferret harness idea. Makes me mad knowing I threw away our guinea pig harnesses recently...ugh! I saw some on clearance at Petco yesterday though so I'll head over there. |

| You could also look into Buddy Belts! They come in very small sizes and every color you can think of. They're a little pricey due to them being leather, but they're extremely durable and impossible for your dog to squirm out of. Kristin has a great selection! Buddy Belt Harness

| I looked at the buddy belt option but price wise I'm better off going with the ferret option. Thanks though I'll spread the info to my friend. |

| No problem! I'm always happy to spread the word about Buddy Belts. They've been my go-to harness for about 5 yrs now. Definitely an investment though!

| We bought a harness in the cat/small animal section, and it fits our 2.5 lb. Mia just fine. |
