After that goes well for a few days, go to puppy bows, which are actually just a small piece of ribbon with a hair band looped in the center to make a bow. These are pretty easy to make. After a week or so when he gets use to the weight of that bow, you can go for a slightly heavier/larger bowl. If he starts rubbing his head, make sure the band isn't too tight, and if it's okay, distract with a toy. |
I couldn't get Lexi to leave her bow in for even a second. I was so disappointed because, not only did she look a mess, her hair was always in her eyes.
I followed these exact steps and she was wearing her bow in no time. The real trick was starting with just the band...not too tight, just like Nancy said. She didn't seem to mind that so much and it got her used to having a little something on top of her head. I was always very careful to make sure it wasn't too tight. Too tight would pull her eyes open wide and that has to be uncomfortable and maybe cause some problems with her eyes.
