Step-in harnesses are great. Easy on, easy off. I keep Minnie's harness and leash in her carry bag on the floor in the corner of my computer room. Today was the first time Minnie took her harness out and dropped it at my feet. She looked at me with ears back with that "We go for walk now?" look. She's such a sweetie.
