dont use a leash if he freaks just the harness.
Dragon's are very smart and can be trained mch like a dog.
If he knows freaking out will get him to get the harness off it will always do it.
Leave the harness on and comfort or distract him if he starts to freak out.
He will eventually become tired of throwing a tantrum and embrace the harness.
A treat after you put his harness on is a good idea as well. He will associate being rewarded
while wearing it. Be patient, 3-4 days max hes trained I bet.
Then just die the harness Safety Orange or sew on the key finder thingy. |
Yes I've tried the leash... in fact, the one I have is exactly the same, just a different brand. But that's some very good advice. His treats (and by far his favorite things in the world) are crickets, so maybe if I were to put him in his harness just before giving him some crickets he will give in and eventually come to accept it.
I think that if I could get him to do that, I would then try attaching that key finder device. I would rather do that than tether him, which would only end up restricting him and also allow him to get tangled too easily.
Thanks for the info
