Harness/Flight Training

[pacoparrot]

I bought Apollo an Aviator Harness the other day and it should be arriving either today or Monday. I don't need much help getting it on him, that will be the easy part. I've done several test runs with dog harnesses to make sure I can get it on him and he just thinks I'm petting him. The hard part will be getting him to ignore it and then training him to actually make use of it with flying. I've got him to the point that he will "flutter jump" to me if he doesn't want to be somewhere but not if he likes it there. Any advice on encouraging flight?

Maybe try taking his attention away from the harness when its on him and reward him every time he dose not chew the harness also try and encourage him to fly and every time he does reward him for that behaviour and if you still have no luck then I would start searching Google for some helpfull advice sorry I couldn't be of more help and good luck with apollo
