I got a new vest for my catch dog a couple of days ago I tried it on her and made her walk around and she acted fine. I went out this morning and put it on her and all she wanted to do was stand there and when I tried to walk her she walked real stuff legged up front and didn't even wanna run. Could it be because it's a new vest? Or what?

I'd say the full range of motion isnt there. But possibly she's just not used to the fit of that one. Leave her in it all day if thats an option and see if it helps.

I put a vest on Chuy for the first time and he stood still for half hour... was funny but he got use to it and everything worked out. Now he associates vest with party time

Stand her up on hind legs and see how high her paws reach on you while not wearing the vest. Put vest on her and repeat. If she can't still reach as high the vest is restricting movement. It may get better as vest breaks in. Range of motion and fit are very important to me in a vest.

Put it on her, wet her down with a hose real good and leave the vest on for 3 days
