My Dakota is a few steps behind your Kimber. I am planning to get the helper harness soon. I was going to suggest to try it even though it may weird her out she's got to poop eventually. I don't know, it's rough when the mind and heart are still 100% and it's rough any other way too. I have been thinking that I will use a harness and sling to do anything I can for her as long as I feel she wants me too. Easier in my mind than it is in real life. Sending good vibes love and light for you both.
