Hi Moosie's Mom. Your dog sounds a lot like Buddy. He rolls on the ground when i put it on him and take it off. i guess he is till a puppy. It feels like we've had him forever. If he know we are going out he will sit..but like 3 ft away from me and the second I go toward him he'll run. Even with a treat in my hand! I hope it will all fall into place..more practice with obedience in general and hopefully he'll like his puppia. So far so good. Thanks for the harness recommendation. Although it is silk (We keep buddy in a puppy cut because my Husband is allergic) hair is not the issue . I think it's all the buckles that bother him . I imagine you can relate because your dog is on the larger side too..the smallest harness was too small and the next size up i had to adjust it so much the buckles fell right under his armpits. The puppia has one buckle only and it is a bit smaller and fall further up. I guess he's still a baby . We don't keep his regular collar on..the one we were walking him in..but a break away one with his id..again my kids..fear of them yanking. Perhaps as he gets older and my kids too that may be an idea fro quick outings..to keep it on all the time. Well off to the shelter to donate more harnesses and collars !!!
Thanks |
