When I put clothes on Jake, he just takes them off. So, I don't push him to wear them. He didn't seem to mind PJs last winter though, I think he liked the warmth they provided. Most times, I don't even bother but he has so many cute clothes that I really would like for him to like wearing them. I tried something new today...
I was thinking about his Hide-A-Squirrel toy, how it says on the box to get your scent on the squirrels before you give it to your dog to play with. It recommended putting the squirrels in with laundry that hasn't been done yet. Well, I didn't want to do that....yuck. So, I just handled them alot before I gave them to him. I thought maybe the same would work for clothes.
Last night, I took one of his shirts and put it inside my pillow case before I went to bed. After he ate his breakfast, I let him sniff the shirt. Then, I picked him up and put the shirt on him. He didn't fight, he sat very still. When I got it on him, I told him what a good boy he was and gave him a treat. He wore the shirt ALL day!!!!! I'm going to try it with some of his other clothes and see what happens, just in case it was just a fluke and he decided to cooperate today.
So, anyone having probs with their babies not liking clothes, give it a try! I'd be really interested to hear what happens!
