Hi
I have a 7 lb Yorkie that "backs out" of her harness. We have tried the main commercial type harnesses and when she does not want to walk forward she sits and literally backs out of her harness. I don't want to attach a leash to her neck collar but that may be my only choice.

Any suggestions? We live in a high traffic area in Brooklyn NY and so far she has done this 3 times with 3 different type harnesses. She is eight years old and lived in a puppymill as a breeder for seven of her eight years so she has a big fear of the big city.
Thanks
