The lil Red Waggin does sound cute - but that's not much exercise!
Try a take-off on the Leash on the Collar - maybe she won't see this as a 100 pound anchor...
Get a regular snap-clip - but tie a SHORT piece of STRING onto it, then snap on her collar. Maybe only 4-5 inches to start - short enough that she does NOT object to it. Let her wear it constantly - but resist the temptation to pull on it!
Do nothing differently -
other than * g r a d u a l l y * increasing the length of the string.
When she accepts (or at least Moves Around with a couple of feet of string dangling); then gently start playing with her AND the string.
A very slow introduction may slip by her - un-noticed...
