BASIL was scared of having his harness put on .
We worked out that it was due to his ears having been sore- so he was associating the harness with discomfort.
As from today,with a few training techniques,he's putting his head through the harness without shying away.
He also was refusing his ears being treated with preventative spray. We now spray a tissue with the unpleasant smelling spray and make wiping the inside of his ears fun
There's always a gentle way to desensitise a dog !!
