Harness

[Holly the U2]

I bought harnesses for them

I was able to get the Harness on my U2 with little resistance.

Now with my M2, you would think I was trying to kill him, he lets out screams like I've never heard from him.

Anyone have any suggestions, I've heard to buy 2 harnesses & let him play/chew on one, but that seems like he will view the second as a toy & tear that one up also.

Did you get the aviator? It has a video.
Also any harness should have a minimum 5 day introduction time,

I got the Feather Teather Harness.

My U2 will pant once the harness is on.

My U2 will pant once the harness is on.

It could be that it's a little tight for him. Can you fit in a finger comfortably?

yeah, I loosen it a little just to be sure

Panting probably means excessive stress. Did you introduce it slowly so as not to scare him??

Tried for a week, can't get it on my M2, he really freaks out.

Some taking longer than a week. Just keep it all slow, may take a couple weeks before you can even try putting it on him. Let him get used to it being around and then touching him. Highly recommend watching the aviator video, even if its not the harness you have. He does a nice job explaining the introduction of a harness. Keep us posted on your progress.
