How to put on harness and leash without a door fight

Comfortable gear and how to put it on without a struggle at the door.

  1. 1

    Try it at home. Put on the harness, treat, take it off. Several times a day without going out. It shouldn’t predict only “street.”

  2. 2

    Correct fit. Two fingers of slack. If it rubs the armpits or slips off easily, change the size or model.

  3. 3

    Loose leash on the way out. Step out only if the leash is slack. Pulling at the threshold teaches pulling outside.
