I think I have a suggestion that could help. You said in your previous post that you have to slip his head through the harness. Columbo's harness isn't like that. I've posted pictures of the type he wears below. It opens up and I just put a leg through each opening. (He even puts each leg out for me to do it) Then is snaps together at his back/shoulders. Then there are two rings, one from each side, that the leash hooks to. If you get one like this that doesn't go over his head, he might fight you less. Then, later when he's outgrown this phase and is more trusting (yes, it will happen) you could go back to the other style harness if that's what you prefer.
