My dogs are now like shais_mom's dog was. Every time I walk towards the cupboard that the harnesses are in, they go ballistic. They are running around in circles, running from door to door and practically drooling with excitement.
With all due respect, Sophies Daddy, I don't believe that Dakota was in pain. He did the same thing on walks before we had the harnesses, yipping and raring with frustration if I stopped to observe something because he wanted to go. The only difference with the harness is that now I don't go flying if I happen to loose my balance (lol). Dakota is a very vocal dog. Anyone who owns Huskies can attest to that. He often jumps up when he wants something and "talks" the way huskies do.
