Ok so you guys have seen the wonderful pics of daisy! (Trish baby!)
This has inspired me to get the harness on haggis, now he was harness trained as a baby but as he goes out in the aviary in good weather I never kept it up!!
Today I decided I was gonna bite the bullet and try again as those lovely pics of my babies having such fun in their harnesses made my mind up!!
So haggis was first!!!!
He was fine getting it over his head, and eventually manipulated himself well enough that the rest went over each wing!!! Tightened it up no problems and he was absolutely fine, reassuring as we went!!
He grumbled abit and found it quite bemusing so I didn't mess about and off we went for a walk round the block and a play in the garden!!
Removal was simple and we are still friends!!
I had a tiny nip off him that was all!!
I was totally chuffed that I needed a cuppa then I was trying gypsy!!!
Will upload pics and videos in a mo!!
Now gypsy is a different story, we don't know if she has ever been in a harness, but she loves you to tickle her wings so I wasn't expecting much trouble!!
She was a total diamond and barely moved, took her out in the garden and she clocked James watching her through the dinning room!!!
She and James are inseperable and when he is close she gets very protective of him and will give me a bite!!! So he stays away when I have time with her!
We now have a fab relationship too!!
Confidence and trust is so vital!
Will just upload media from phone as its not on iPad!!! Lol
