Don't dress her up on a daily basis. Just colder weather & maybe for a special day like Halloween or something. Last winter when she was just a wee one & it was so bitter cold, I bought her a pullover sweatshirt that had bands that went around the back legs to help hold it in place. She rolled, tumbled all over the place convinced she could not walk. It was hysterical! After a little while she slowed down long enough, she slowly realized she was not handicapped. About the 3rd time putting it on she was fine with it. She handled the open jacket type much better, but didn't like bands snug on her legs. I just cut off the sleeve bands & she had no problem with it. It wasn't long & she didn't mind clothes at all. In fact, now when putting on harness and/or clothes she's trying to help put them on. Picks up her legs to get ready & ducking her head down to help put something over her head. Got her a Snuggie recently. By the 3rd night she started bringing it to us to put it on her before bedtime. Since the time change, she moved bedtime up 2 hrs earlier. lol! Actually I think she would be happy wearing it all day & night.

It takes time to get used to the feeling of new things on them. Just keep putting things on for awhile & extend the time. She'll get over it.
