Hmmm....I'd say that you are just going to have to get him used to it. My method is collar all the time with id tag on it...and harness only for walking. So if I were you I would just put the collar on him and let him pout about it for awhile. He'll get over it. Just make sure that it's comfortable (not too tight, and made out of a soft material).
As far as the harness...does he enjoy walks? If he does, then take him out with the harness on, and if he fusses...bring him in. If he wants to walk...he'll get used to it.
I think you are just going to have to use some "tough love" on this one |
