What does it take to train a 3 month old bun to walk on a harness?

[knail86]

I have a 3 month old doe, and she has tons of energy, im interested in training her to walk on a harness. Is this hard to do ? If shes a small rabbit is it good to walk her? I was thinking a big rabbit would be easier to train, I wasnt sure if people who had smaller rabbits walked them? If I did start trying to train her it would be in a backyard where my moms dogs also were, but not at the same time. is it bad to let a rabbit hop around where dog poop is?

I don't know that you can ever train them to walk on a leash/harness like a dog - but you can get them used to wearing it. It just takes patience. I wouldn't let her hop around with dog poop, I'd make sure it's all cleaned up first. Then just spend time w/ her wearing the harness/leash. Mine is totally used to wearing his, but I pretty much just follow him around as he hops around the yard, he doesn't go where I lead him =)

My bun is full grown and only 3 lbs - so he's little. When I first started trying the harness, even the smallest size was way to big, so I made one out of an old sock lol.
