I agree with Jake ... take your time ! It's much like getting a horse used to a saddle. Let him or her smell of it, place it on their back and rub it around, if they seem ok with it, harness it up. Check for rub spots as Jake mentioned. Walk the dog around a for a while unloaded and let them get used to the feel. Start loading with only light loads at first. Then go for it ! Have fun !
Patience is just my style, I don't introduce my animals to anything new with a big bang and it seems to work fine for me and DJ.
