We do wish you luck, and we're sure you'l manage all right!
What I did, was to just keep Pretty indoors a=20
little bit longer than usual, so as to be sure=20
she HAD to go... I put the harness on, and C/T.=20
Then we walked around, with her trying to get rid=20
of it to "produce", but eventually she just=20
couldn't help it, and when she did, lots of=20
praise and C/t, with great rewards...
Once was enough.
A couple of other friends here, whom I gave=20
harnesses as a present, have found it just as easy.
I'm sure the two of you will do great!
Let us konw...
Hugs and Wags,
Ollie & Pretty
