old. She was wild enough that it took a few weeks for her to settle in. I wanted to let her get some fresh air and sunshine, but I was afraid that if I let her outside she would bolt and I'd never get her back. I found a small figure eight harness at one of our local stores and let her wear it in the house for a few days. When I petted her I would tug gently on it and just got her used to the feel of being restrained with it. When I did take her outside on a leash, she responded very well. The feel of the harness was familiar and she didn't freak out when she came to the end of the leash and felt a pull.
