Hi!
I'm in the process of teaching Kisa to walk on a leash. Right now she's just getting used to the harness. I have sessions everyday where I put on the harness and play with her, pet her and give her treats to make her associate the harness with something good. But she tends to bite on it a bit. Which I guess is understandable. But she doesn't do it as much as she used to. But what should I do when she does? I have tried distracting her with play. But should I just let her wear it and walk around with it and then if she chews on it, just let her figure out that it won't make a difference? Or? I just want to approach this whole leash learning thing the right way. And she also gets a bit weird when I put it on, she feels like she can move around the same way, which is also
normal for cats when getting used to clothes and harnesses. But is that ok? I don't want to do anything wrong.
And when it comes to taking her outside when she is ready. Do anyone have any tips when it comes to her getting scared? Running into dogs? Stuff like that?
