please make sure the harness is not rubbing her.  I don't know i would leave it on 24 hours a day.  I would make putting the harness on and off very pleasant as in "Treat Time" so the puppy likes it and associates it with positive things not torture.

Subject: Re: [Chihuahuas] Advice: Leash Training?

Put the harness on her and leave it on her.   Will take a few days to get use to.   Takes about a week
for a collar too.    Don't worry about a leash until after she is use to the harness.      One step at a time,
and even if she does just set there, give her a little treat when you put it on,  and tempt her with one
where she has to walk a couple steps.   and don't give the treat until she does walk a couple steps.
then after you get over the first hurdle,  make the distance away from her a little longer......   It will
take time and you need to be more stubborn then she is.

I have a wonderful little puppy Chi named Daisy May. She is wonderful! 
Daisy is about 11 1/2 months old. We have been having quite the problem 
leash training her. We tried a collar and leash but someone told us it 
is not good for their little necks, is that true? So we bought her a 
harness...that didn't go to well. When we put it on her she will just 
sit down and not move. She sat there for almost 20 minutes with out 
moving a muscle! My boyfriend Jared even walked by her a bunch and she 
is usually quite skidish. She is very stubborn. Any advice on leash 
training my Chihuahua?
