funny I posted this same problem with my 12 week old last week. But I kept trying, she was wiggling and getting one leg out while I was trying to buckle the harness on top, finally I just held her tight until she quite wiggling, (it takes alot of energy to wiggle that hard, she had to stop eventually) when she did stop the wiggling I got it buckled and put the leash on and off we went. That was last week. For the last (2) days of this week, when she sees the harness in my hand, she goes to the corner and lays down, but I pick her up and put her on my lap (while I'm sitting on the floor), and believe it or not, she didn't struggle at all!!! Yesterday I put it on (3) times and we went out for short walks, with no struggle at all. I was so shocked that she finally gave in. I got a harness similiar to the buddy belt, but its called 'scrappy pet harness'. I got it on Amazon.com. It is really soft leather, you might want to check it out. Or just go to Amazon and put in a search for scrappy pet. Worked for me, I am so proud of her, now this morning when we went out, she was running next to me I could hardly keep up with her little legs. LOL! Good Luck, cause our pups are about the same age. |
