    always LOVELY to read about a rescue dog settling in to his new home, and a bond starting between him/his human :):)
    Could you put a fleece undercoat under the harness to stop chaffing?
    These very fine coated dogs rub easily - will he build up a better coat do you think, or is that the way he is?
    He looks so much better btw - you must be so pleased with him? Is the bond there yet? COntinued success with the training and the settling in

    I've thought of cutting up some old sheepskin boots to make wee sleeves for the harness, but the new one seems to be doing the job nicely. I think his coat is just how it is, unless I start keeping him outside.

    Sometimes sled dogs wear special t shirt type things under their harnesses to prevent harness rub. You could probably find a child's tshirt to fit him, in case you have to change harness again, the harness would keep it in place I would imagine.
