If that does not work, and it takes much persistence, try a harness that attaches the leash on the chest rather than on the back. A Gentle Leader is one such brand, you would need to purchase the Petite size. This worked well for my girls. Just be careful as the swivel on the leash hook can get tangled up in the chest hair. I wrapped mine with some tape. Good luck. |
Thank you for the tip Gracie! I'm goign to try this tonight when I take him out for his walk. I just looked up A Gentle Leader harness...OMG I am going to purchase this! I can't believe I never heard of this before. I'm so glad you mentioned it to me. It looks comfortable. Thank you!
