The bow thing is all about training. It has to be done daily and sometimes more than daily. Do you use grooming bands to put it in or have you only let the groomer do it? If your dog has a cotton coat you are going to need to use a really good quality shampoo and conditioner and probably a conditioning spray for between baths. Most Yorkies with long fur need a weekly bath and daily combing. If you comb her daily with a good metal grooming comb it should be fairly easy to keep her looking good. A small
4" comb works better for the face and topknot.
After you get the grooming bands in give her a treat and then try to distract her from trying to take the topknot out. A game of fetch use to work for Gracie. If it is in loosely enough she should forget it is there. You don't need to to anything fancy at first. Just get it in there and get her accustomed to wearing it. |
