my babies were brought up on clothing and absolutely LOVE it! Especially in the winter, Bounce will look at me like I am absolutely nuts if I ask him to go potty out without his jacket on. He even prefers to sleep in his pajamas in the fall/winter b/c they keep him warmer when he chooses to venture out from under the covers and sleep on top of the comforter. Now yes, there are some dogs who hate clothes and would rather die than wear them. So long as they're introduced to it in a friendly approach (lots of treats and praise!) usually they love it. Especially once they realize, "omg I get sooo much attention with my clothes on!" My little girl already prances around like she's hott stuff with her clothes on. And at first, Bounce walked like his legs were broken, but then he figured out, "oh...this is so not restricting me" and runs all over the place in his sweaters. Just remember, lots of treats as soon as the garment goes on! and tons of praise! Our furbabies thrive on pleasing us and knowing that we are proud of them for something is the greattes reward they can ask for from us besides our love.
