Recently I decided to take her for walks so I put on the harness that I have had since I adopted her home. Only problem is she gets scared and nervous whenever I put it on. Not only that, she doesn't seem happy at all and doesn't listen to me anymore. She starts to sit and look at me like she's sorry.
At the time, I did not really take her out for walks as I play with her in the back of the yard. The backyard is really big and spacious so she has all the room she needs to run around and play in.
When I take the leash to attach to the harness and tell her to come she still sits there and when I pull a bit to tell her to come she doesn't come either. I'll have a treat so she can see it but yet she still sits there. When the leash if off of her she will eventually start walking around. So I just left the harness on there so she would gradually get used to it and that it would be accepted by her.
Well, when I decided to put her in the crate for the night. I woke up and found that the harness was no longer on her. She bit off the buckle and took it right off and it is completely destroyed.
I have no idea what to do anymore. I DO want to take her for walks but her attitude and destructive habits is going to leave my wallet empty if I have to keep buying her a new harness. I do not want to take it off because I want her to get used to it so that every time we walk I don't have to put it back on her.
