I will work with him on clicking and treating for positive looks and touches
on the harnesses. also as soon as we are home it comes off and only goes on
when we are going out. do you think I should put it on a little whil
e before we go out??
I teach the dogs to "get dressed" I start with teaching it with a oversized
collar. One that he can put his head in without having to buckle or anything.
sometimes I use a choke chain for this.. probably the only reason I still
have them around..! Grin. I hold it over my hands spread out and c/t for
touching it at first. then I work up to slipping it over their head.. and
telling
them how handsome and well dressed they are! Grin.. ya gotta have fun with it
right? then I worked with the harness.. Many dogs get so enthusiastic that
they stick their heads in any object held out with the cue.. when you first do
the harness, I c/t for them even if they get the wrong hole.. after they are
good at that, I start maneuvering the harness and only c/t ing for the proper
hole.. as time goes on, I add the criteria of standing still to do up the
buckles.. I teach this at home whether I am going out or not I want them to
harness up on cue.. let us know how it goes!
