She wants to go outside so bad. She is always sitting by the door and watching the dogs go out. Just a few minutes ago I was outside and I saw her sitting in front of the glass patio doors so I scooped her up as I came in and gave her a hug and put her on the couch - the look on her face was so sad.

I have a harness, but she won't sit still long enough for me to put it on, and the one time I did put it on she looked very unhappy. I did manage to put it on and take her out, and she freaked and ran back to the door. This is an older nylon harness, should I try a different type? It is a hassle to get on.

She has managed to sneak out the door a few times, but she never gets any farther than the ramp out the door (for Bandit, the old dog, we have a ramp) before I catch her and bring her back in. Once in awhile I hold her in my arms and go out, but I'm way too paranoid to let her down - she can move fast and I don't want to take any chances.

Any suggestions on harnesses and training?
