hi glass onion,
yes i agree with u.maybe he just not really comfort with it. :)
all i can do is sneaking to touch him when he eating treat from my hand.maybe he will realize one day its not that bad.i just own him for 2 months now n i still have a really long time to gain his trust. :lol:

It means that it will be blood, sweat and tears before you can put it on. You have to work REALLY slowly and have a lot of patience and bit by bit positivly reinforce the harness.

Start by just being near it for some time, then reward touch, then move onto getting the head through the first loop. Watch Michaels videos, as well as the dvd that comes with the harness, and take it really slowly and the chances are the best that it will work out =)!
