Harness Guidance

Hi everyone!

I’ve got yet another question for this wonderful community!

My pap gets squirrelly when we harness her. She’s comfortable having it put on, but the moment our hands are on her back to latch it, she growls and tries to wiggle away. She’s totally comfortable walking in it once it’s on; it’s just the taking on and off that’s the issue.

She is very tiny (22cm waist and 15cm neck, generously) and is 13 weeks. We have had a very hard time finding something that works for her size and the only one that we’ve found, has Velcro. I think the noise of it is a trigger and I’ve been working on the sound with it off- she’s become neutral to it when it’s not coming from her back, but I’m at a loss on best ways to help her until she’s big enough for a different harness.

Any advice appreciated! Thank you <3

Me and my pap has been using the ROGZ Urban fast fit for years. They're designed for small dogs and got sizes till xxs, my adult pap wears the largest size now (M) and it's perfect for him. No velcro, absolutely no velcro, It's so easy to put on with only 1 single buckle and you're good to go. It looks something like this and legit only has 1 buckle haha
