Emy has done this from day one....everytime I want to go outside with her and have to put her harness on, I sit on the floor with the harness and she just barks at me, but if I get up and get a little treat, then sit back down with the harness between my legs, she comes to get the treat and I gently turn her around and put her feet into her harness. Unfortunately, she hasn't grown out of the treat routine, I'm tired of having to get a treat everytime she decides she want to go outside, but thats the only way I can get her coat and harness on..! when she is in her gated area in the entryway, and I want to get her out and bring her with me to the kitchen I lean over the x-pen to pick her and and she backs up ....everytime, and barks and won't let me just lean over to pick her up...so I have to put my legs over the x-pen everytime to pick her up....it does get exhausting...but I love her so much, I won't leave her alone in the house....only for about an hour to go to grocery store in her crate...xmas, hubby is going to daughters house alone, I'm not going to leave her alone for hours and hours on xmas...don't want to take her, as his daughter has a dog, don't know what would happen, don't want to chance it this year. maybe next year when Emy has matured a little, right now she is all puppy... |
