Yeah we have a nylon harness and also a cloth one that is more like a soft velvety feeling, he hates them both. I will admit that he is slowly coming around, he tries to run around and get it off, but he will now eat and drink with it on. He just won't play, his ears don't go back anymore either and his tail is starting to come out from between his legs.
I have puppy classes tomorrow so I am going to talk to the trainer and see if she has any idea, because when we do off leash he won't even play because he doesn't like his harness, he just sits there and watches the other dogs run around, and I feel so bad because I want him to like his harness.
It is almost like he pouts. I can just see his little mind thinking, "take this thing off me" lol and I feel bad but I can't give in. As soon as the harness is off he is his old self bouncing around like a little maniac!!
At least there are signs of a little progress!! |
