Yeah, hard transition. IF you want that hair to grow down over the snout, use a little bit of vaseline and force the hair down so it doesn't go in their eyes. You can actually have that long hair on the snout and snip the hair away from the corner of their eyes (where it tears). I try distracting them in regard to the ponytails. It is just something you have to work with until they get used to it. If you want those cute ponytails, don't give in...keep doing it, redoing it, and redoing it. They'll finally (hopefully) get tired of having it redone and leave it alone. Good luck
