Introducing a harness should be a calm and positive experience for your puppy. Using food can help keep them relaxed and engaged while you gently guide the harness into place. I like to use a PerfectFit Harness as it doesn’t need to go over the puppy’s head and can be put on in a similar way to a collar, which many puppies find more comfortable. Focus on one clip at a time, taking it slowly and keeping the experience low pressure. If you need to place more food on the floor between each clip, do so, rather than rushing. This helps keep your puppy calm and slightly distracted, building a positive association with wearing the harness and supporting them to feel relaxed during handling.
