Thanks!

p.s. as you can tell, I have never owned a pet, much less a dog before! This is almost as fun as raising a human baby!

Hi Gail,

Tiger does not like to put his harness on too so whenever I need to, I have to bribe him with a good treat. I lure him with it otherwise he won't . . he always runs away. He is never on a harness at home but when we take him out I make sure he has it as all his ID tags are in it. Tiger is 19 weeks old and he's been wearing a harness since he was 10 weeks. I got it at walmart ($3.00 something) and I love it. You can find harness that is more like a wrap around with a velcro opening but they are very pricey (at the store where I found them) so am waiting until he is full grown so he won't outgrow such an expensive one. In the meantime, I am very happy with the one he has right now.

And yes, there is a place at the back where you attach the leash. Like you, this is my first time also to own a dog and I tell you they are demanding of your time . . . I just love Tiger to death that I'll do anything . . . .
