Training/Practice is Everything! All 3 of mine wear "Topnots", yes even my 3 1/2 yr. old male Artie, 2 1/2 yr. old female Abigail and 11 month old Tiffany Aloha. It's all in the so called
"Training". I have a Grooming Routine, that starts with; brushing their whole body, brushing their teeth and washing their eyes out with a wash cloth, dressing them (at least one wears a dress) and the last thing is to put their hair up, I do it last so they don't have a chance to pull it out. Most of the time they are so excited because this means they are going out! I also use a portable Grooming Table on top of my Washing Machine, which they are used to. The round one from Petedge.com that swivals around. As with everything
with Yorkies you must "Train" them, they will get to the point when they know what to expect because you do it every day not just Special Occasions.
A Routine always helps. Of course the first thing they want to do when we get Home is take it out. Good Luck! |
