Don't give up on it! No dog ever likes it at first. I have yet to see a dog who doesn't try to paw at it and get it off for awhile when you first start using one.
Just let her wear it around the house while you can supervise her. Don't start trying to walk her on it yet. When you put it on, be sure to give her lots of good treats. You can try only putting it on her when she eats her meals. That way she can start associating wearing it with good things.
Its important to never take it off while she's pawing at it or trying to get it off. That will reward her for doing that and then she'll always try to get it off. When she is calm and ignoring it, then you can take it off.
Don't worry, I'm sure she'll get used to it soon.
