My Dog isn't a Doxie but he hated his harness at first. I got a Harness because he pulled really bad and still sometimes does so he needs one or he'll choke himself to death. He loves walks though so I think he just kind of sucked it up It does take a matter of getting used to it, and I think that's all she needs. I wouldn't give in

My dog now runs around and plays in his harness, so overall I think it just takes some getting used to!
