We have put some wire mesh around the side of the house that leads to the front to try and encourage him to stay in the back. Although the road out the front is very quiet, just leading to a farm I like him where I can see him and there is just fields out the back but they always seem to want to go where they can't and small gaps and holes are fascinating to him. He was beginning to look up at the wall that gives him excess to the front. There is a trellis on the top of it but the holes are big enough for him to get through if he wanted to so we put some wire mesh along the trellis and this has worked well. On the whole though he does seem to want to be where we are and often comes in on his own when we do, so far he hasn't even gone down to the bottom of the garden.

I have the harness and tried it on him twice but didn't follow through with the training. I must take it out and start afresh. It would be wonderful to bring him out of the apartment for a walk as I feel he has got bored with the space :LOL:

I thought I was going to have problems with Harry with a harness as he was having none of it, but within a couple of days we had him walking around the garden with the lead attached. There was so much to see and new things his curiosity got the better of him and he didn't even notice he was being restrained. :)

Love to see some pics of Harry in his harness:smile:

Will do some pics at the weekend Karena :)
