I don't have a problem with this with our Tatum so I can't give any advise but it reminded me of my grandparents' dog. When they had to move into a nursing home, my parents took in their dog. No idea why but every time they put a harness and/or leash on that dog, she would hit the ground - all 4 legs splayed out.... would NOT stand up. As soon as you'd take it off, she'd bounce up and walk around. Silly dog. They tried just letting her wear the harness by itself, didn't work. I guess she knew the leash was going to follow.
Good luck with yours!
