Hello everyone, I've been on this board for a while but never posted as it has taken from 2005 to 2011 to actually get a yorkie.
I got Turtle for my birthday this year. She was born 2/24/11 so she's about 4 months old now.
My question is around harnesses. At first I had a collar on her, but was concerned if I ever did try to walk her that it might hurt her little neck, so we went and picked up one of those Lil Pals harness.

The problem is when I put it on her, she completely shuts down. She won't walk around at all. I've tried using her favorite treats to lead her around which works a little. But generally she just lays there. After I take it off, within a few minutes she walks again.
I've tried making sure it's not too tight or too loose. She is so set on not moving that she won't get up to potty. I've watched her inch over to the peepee pad and piddle a boat load, letting me know she's not been potty in a while. So she's actually holding her urine so she don't have to walk in it. Hubby says I should just leave it on her and eventually she'll get tired of not moving.
I've had boxers and I have chihuahuas and they don't act like this.
Suggestions?
Thanks
Renee
