How to Train a Dog to Love a Harness - Ten Steps for Success! - An Invaluable Resource for Pet owners, Guardians, Trainers, and All Pet Care Providers!
Ideally, you should follow this 10-step plan to ensure that the dog
loves his/her harness from the moment it is introduced, however, the
plan is also an invaluable tool for working with dogs that already have a
negative response to a harness.
Please watch the videos and train the skills in order.
Follow each of the steps and you should soon have a dog that loves his harness.
Please note, dogs without a pre-existing problematic response to a harness will pass through the training steps more quickly than those who have a negative association with a harness.
Advance at a rate that is comfortable for the dog!
