How to put a harness on a puppy: Step-by-step trainer’s guide

If you’re preparing your new dog for their first walk, you might be wondering how to positively get a harness on puppy. As a certified animal behaviorist, I know how important it is to start your puppy off on the right paw when it comes to any new experiences - from training, daily routines, new friends, and - in this case - new equipment.

Before you take your dog out into the world, once they’re old enough to explore your neighborhood, it’s important to master putting on their harness. The harness will keep your dog safe and secure on walks, as well as hopefully being a much more comfortable alternative to a collar once they’ve got used to it.
