You could take it off for him to eat, and then put it back on when he's done. Also, when you walk him, if he won't do his business with it on, take it off and put it on when he is back home, after he gets a drink. If you are 100% supervising him, like, he's sleeping next to you on the sofa, off is ok. Other than that, it's for the best if it's on. It's only 10 days in his whole life. Don't let the sad, pathetic face get to you LOL!
