Awesome Kenny!!! Cooper will be loving his walks in no time at all & will literally jump into his harness!! :th_biggrin:

Roscoe never tried to chew on his harness while outside. He was too mesmerized by all the new things to see. He was a bear to get it past his busy beak while putting it on tho. I need to start back trying to get him to wear it.

Kenny - That is awesome news! Keep up that training and make sure to harness him regularly to keep him used to it. :D

okay. im acually on my computer now. so here is the story

i was just relaxing in my room with cooper on his atom. and right next to the atom is the shefl where i keep a lot of his treats and stuff. and the harness was there too. so he managed to climb over onto the shelf and when i noticed, he was standing right next to the harness without even noticing. so then i though, oh my god, lets try it on. and thats all. we got it on (with a bit of a struggle and a few bites, only one bad one) and took him for a walk!

i took him again just a few minutes ago and he was great! he seems less nervous about being outside than yesterday. hopefully he keeps improving!

he was a bit easier the second time, but not much, and same with the third, today he was a bit easier, but not much. im just happy, 1, he is wearing it at least, and 2, i have only gotten one bite than actually was bleeding. what would you guys recommend for his chewing? just ignoring it? or correcting/stopping him when he tries to chew.
