I had a pack of 3 girls (now all passed), if they didn't pull out their top knot, the other two did so I just gave up.
My adopted boy was 2 1/2 years old when I got him. He sports a top knot. He would rub his head on things until he looked like a hot mess, but he did get used to it.
Flint is a puppy, he feels something on his head and will try to get it off. Just keep redoing it, he will get use to it.
