It is made of mesh and closed with velcro and sturdy clips. Easy on the throat and very easy to step into, even with a wriggly dog. 2. On YT it was suggested to keep harness/leash on while in house with you and attach to you so that she cannot pee/poop without you knowing. At least if you catch her 'at it' you can take her out.
Good Luck, and hang in there. |
This is my suggestion also. It is called the Umbilical cord training or Leash training. I've had to do this with a few of mine and it works very well. I would also suggest that in order to get her some much needed excercise first of all
figure out how to put on that damn harness 
and than use a retractable leash for her to allow her a little more freedom when your outside.(not when inside)
I think shes been cooped up in a cage too long!
I believe that her fighting you may just be a fight or flight instinct. If she was at the breeders in a cage for 7 months she probably did not get the kind of one on one human contact she should have gotten. Like other said, deal with her in a calm state of mind. Do not speak harshly to her and if you get frustrated can you imagine how she is feeling.
I would continue with her paper training for as long as it takes. Dont change what she is use to.
Look at my site for more tips on training, I hope you can find something that is helpful.
