Hitch me up! No, not yet Bridhe, but you can learn how to put on a harness, do your stays, and drag something loud and light!



The harness doesn't quite fit her, but it is fine for training early stuff :

Putting on harness: Stand, stand stay, ignoring harness flapping around, targeting nose to opening in harness, stand stay with me touching  her with both hands and harness, stand stay while I seat the neck on her neck, stand stay while I clip the girth, stand stay while I clip traces on individually. Show that she can do a stand, sit and down with harness and traces on.  All of these things are clicked and treated individually.

Moving with harness on it: Stand stay while I get in place, walk with me, get c/t for the sound of the traces dragging on different surfaces, then stand stay while I walk behind and touch and jiggle traces, stand stay while I attach load (piece of plastic), start load when asked, ignore load bumping and snagging and the sound of the load - c/t for each instance.
