What is the issue? Are you not able to get the harness on her? Or does she either act like an anvil has been tied to her back or do the alligator death roll once it is on?

Have you tried a walking jacket instead of a harness? They are much easier to get on with Velcro.

And more secure as well! I agree, you should try a walking jacket. And even then, do not expect to be able to take her out. It will take a few weeks of putting the jacket on and letting her get used to it before you want to even think about taking her outside.

after you get it on her inside try playing with her or feeding her so she will get used to it but by eating or playing with her she will most likely forget about it and after a few times after bringing her out she will realize putting on the harness means she gets to go out so hopefully she catches on to that
