Reading the threads about ear tapping and watching the videos on YT will help you decide if you want to tape your puppies ears. I did find a few hints, here they are.
1.Shaveing the ear hair at around 4 weeks will help ears stand up
2.Cooking oil will remove glue, gum, tape sticky,and paint from fur and skin.
3.A paper plate works well for making a pettern. Make a V shaped pattern
a. you can cut two for each ear, place one on front one on back .Tape to ear
b. use only one V pattern. Place piece of tape on pattern, long enough to wrap around the ear. Place on inside of ear, over lap tape on back of the ear.
c. cut a two inch piece of tape. Fold ear (like a book closing) tape like wrapping a band-aid around a finger, tape will form a tube.
3. Which method you use depends on how thick the ear is and how it is bent.
