Hi,
I mentioned in an earlier post that my pup has some aggression at times, but it's mostly when we're doing something that she's not fond of (or used to).

She does well with baths and getting brushed.

But, when I put a sweater on her, she goes bananas! She's okay when I slip the sweater over her head, but when I start to put her legs through the holes, she starts growling and showing her teeth. What can I do to get her used to putting it on?

She does the same when we try to put a knot or a bow in her hair, but not as bad as when putting clothes on.

I've tried to give her treats when putting it on, but it didn't help that much.

What's the best way for me to teach her that putting on clothes is a good thing? Thanks.
