When I get her coat out she runs and hides. Thats why I wanted a little girl so bad so that I could put them in the cute little dresses and bows and she wont let me put them on her. How can I get her to like to be dressed up?
Luckily both my Yorkie girls didn't give me that hard of a time with bows/outfits. Bella was a little harder than Ruby tho. It's best if you start off young so they will be use to wearing stuff as an adult and it's also a little easier to teach puppies than adults. With Bella she would always try to squirm out of her outfits. What i did was put the outfit on her and then put her harness on so she couldn't take her outfit off. She would wiggle around the floor for a few minutes then give up. I'd leave it on her for about a half hour and then take it off. I'd do it a few times a day and eventually she got use to. Now i don't have to put her harness on with every outfit i put on her. I haven't been able to try the bows yet with Bella because her hair isn't long enough. Ruby never had any problems with bows so i can't really give you any info there.
But just keep trying
