For Uni, maybe you should get her into a totally calm state of mind before even putting the leash on her? I know, it probably sounds impossible right now, but if you have a free day to devote even 30 minutes-1 hour making a slow attempt to get that leash on her. Let her learn she's not going to go for a walk or get that leash on without being in a more calm state of mind. It will take up a lot of time and patience, but the first time is always the worst. Since in your case... the leash is more of a treat than food, maybe you can use the leash AS a treat. Get her relaxed and calm, and start putting the harness on, once she starts to get all excited again, take it off. When she gets back into that excitable state.. no leash/walk for her. I understand if she's gotta potty, that much time isn't gonna happen but when you know she doesn't NEED to go outside, you're just going for fun... I'd give it a shot. Maybe take her to a park, let her run around a lot or put her on a treadmill, anything to drain her energy...then come back inside and practice the putting on the harness/leash. Starting in a more tired state may help. |
