A while ago mum had Millie and was unable to undo her harness until my dad came home and forced the catch apart, they told me she ran around like a loony with relief after but I had my suspicions that it was more in fear. Sure enough the next time they had her dad went to put the harness on and experienced a 'Millie episode' with the over reaction and extreme submission/fear. He had not seen this yet and I did get the feeling he thought I was being soft with her
.
Up until today she had still been fine with me putting the harness on so I hoped it would have just been at my parents house for the problem. But earlier I went to put it on and all I did was touch the side of her leg as normal for her to l lift it and she really cried out
. Even taking her out the front made no difference, if I went near her she cowered and rolled on her back. I don't think it's pain as she literally did just life a front leg and we play quite roughly/charge around with no signs of a problem, I think it was the fact we were in the front room instead of the hall
It just amazes made how quickly something becomes such a huge problem for her and it really worries me as she is just gradually getting harder to care for
. I can't let her off lead much so how soon before she has neck problems? I'll try again in the morning but not holding out much hope. Sorry for the long self indulgent ramble!
