For the top knot, for everyday or training, I use the made for humans plastic claw clips from WalMart. They're cheap, and you can get them in quickly, and if she gets it out, she won't be ruining an expensive bow. It can take up to two weeks or longer before she'll forget about it and leave it alone.
If it really bothers her, just get it in, then give treats to distract her and praise. Then do 4-5 15 minute sessions a day until she's okay with it. Same with the harness, and always try to end the sessions on a positive note, with treats and a ton of praise. |
