Hi looking for some tips on getting Harley used to wearing his figure of 8 head harness. He has it on for about 10 seconds and I give him treats then paws it off any advice would be appreciated.

Luckily Vin got used to his straight away, I think its just a matter of distraction just keep walking with it on him and make it fun perhaps a fave toy while your out to capture his attention, Do stick with it though as they are good, also train the heal command also xx

I must say I bought one for Katy as she pulls so much & was told it would stop her Surprised They were right, she just layed down & wouldn't move other than to try & get it off Rolling Eyes I'm sure if you keep trying he will get used to it, Katy just hates things round her muzzle Smile

Thank you for all the advice, and Inez thank you so much for the figre of 8 idea. Harley walks like a dream now. No pulling at all and better control around people. One question im using it with harness and double ended lead. What do you suggest?
