Young Eckie harness training

[Lanny]

My first Eckie is coming home with me in 2 weeks, he will be 8 weeks old. When is the best time to start harness training? I was thinking if it is already in his cage setup when he arrives that is a step forward to introducing it as everything is new....
TIA

Right away is fine.

Congratulations. Harness training can be done any age. I did my CAG at 3 months old and a few days after getting her. Make it fun w lots of verbal praise and treats. Build up the time worn gradually.

As far as I know, if you do it slowly with a lot of rewards, you can do it at any time. Congrats on the new family member, too!
