With a young puppy you really want to keep training times short but make sure you do it at least 2 or 3 times a day. Grooming and clothing are both things that require training. If your little one is a young puppy I would just do some light grooming a couple of times a day. Start with putting on the little T-shirt. Play with her and try to distract her while it is on. When she goes back to chewing the shirt take it off and then do a little combing of the hair.

Gracie never kept her clothing on for any length of time until she was 8 months old and then she did it because she was cold! She found her pajamas kept her warm and she liked them.
