I taped Tucket's ears at 8 weeks for about half a day. He didn't seem to mind it but I got worried about the gauze getting stringy so I took it off. It wasn't two weeks later that his ears came up on their own. I don't know if we conditioned the muscles enough when taping to make them do that or if they just did it but they are up. Yorkies are cute either way but I think they show so much more expression when their ears are up. I just adopted one with floppy ears and I love him just as much
