This Jindo rescue dog hated her harness- here’s what helped

May 26, 2026

If you have a dog afraid of their harness, and you're not making progress with harness training, this week's video is for you. 

Putting a harness on a dog requires getting into the dog's personal space, and some pretty invasive handling.  So it's no surprise that many dogs dislike harnesses. For these dogs, the best approach to get them to love their harness is careful, gradual harness training. But if you're trying to DIY harness training, it's easy to get stuck and frustrated. 

If your dog still hates their harness despite your best attempts at harness training, you'll need to adjust your training approach to meet your dog's individual needs and sensitivities.  Check out how one of my students got unstuck with her meat trade rescue dog's harness training here:
