I agree with what has been said. I put the harness on Tilly, and she HATED it.. but as soon as she was outside, she didn't really care - she was outside!! Nutmeg tried to wiggle out of her harness, but I put it on upsidedown and she couldn't get out ( long story.. I'll have pics soon though ). I think the key to it all is baby steps Good luck, and please photograph your progress!!!
