Well Joel was terrified of wearing his harness but for some reason he doesn't mind sweaters(as much

) so I found him the kind of harness that shaped like a sweater and you can hook the leash to it.
So when I put it on him I was hoping he wouldnt notice it was a harness and thank goodness he didn't, but at first he did get this look like "wait a minute, is this a harness or a sweater" lol, but before he figured it out I took him out to play and he didn't mind.
Next step is getting him used to the leash because he freaks out when he feels it pulling.

Have you tried just putting the leash on him while in the house and letting him get used to it before trying to walk him?
