Mom would like to get Boba trained to wear a harness and go outside. Miss Emily at Kitty Cat Go is a trained behaviorist and offered an online course.
Mom is put a harness on kittens before and also on Chanel. Boba though is a tough nut. She has lots of opinions and things need to be her idea. So to get some tips and trick and also support Miss Emily, she signed up.
That said, mom admits she hasn't been as on the ball with training as she should be. Thankfully Boba is food motivated.
After a few introduction steps, mom got the harness on:
After a few more tries, mom moved to a new plan and bought a different harness. The one above needs Boba to put her legs through and secures on top.
The new one sits on her back and velcros under her neck and stomach. She still needs more time to get used to it, but at least mom doesn't have to wrestle her to get it on.
I had trouble at first but switched to Wrap n Go harness by Bark Appeal., It is the easiest harness I have ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time, I tried harnesses on my two of my cats, Sasha and Sami. Once in the harness, they became rocks. I hope things go much better with Boba!
