[nagdu] wagging and harness or not happy about working?

[Daniel]

Hi,

 

I am not sure how long the posts have been going about dogs being happy to
get into their harness when you get ready to go since my email has been
messed up but here goes.

 

I have always had an issue with Cass, with only a few exceptions where she
pulls away from me when I put her harness on. After it is on, she works like
a champ, and seems perfectly content. She is all work, and extremely focused
on her job. She does not want to get the physical praise as much as just
verbal praise, and her usual kibble.

 

When I brought this up to my field rep, who is no longer with me, she said
that Cass was head-shy and that it had nothing to do with not wanting to
work.

I must admit I am always taken a back a bit when she resists the harness
since I feel like she doesn't want to go, but I go with what my rep said.

 

Does anyone else have any similar issue?
