Please Read Need Help With Getting Puppy to Wear Harness Hi everyone. I have an 8 week yorkie mix that so far has been doing great. She is already litter box trained and is starting to have fewer and fewer accidents. She already understands her name, knows "sit", "come", "place", and almost knows "down".
However, I've done all this training off leash. I just reveived her package and went to put on her harness to get her used to being walked, and she absolutely hates it. She doesn't really bite it too much but she will not walk in it. She just lies down and sulks. I'm not really sure what to do. We've tried treats, and encouraging playing, but it doesn't work very well.
At first we were leaving it on for a couple minutes at a time, but she'll just lay down and then go start playing when we take it off. I'm wondering if I should just try leaving it on all day while I'm with her until she eventually gets used to it. Any advice would really be apreciated, especially if you had a similiar experience.
Thanks you,
