My female yorkie is 18 mo old. When I had her as a puppy I repeatedly would pull her hair up and secure it with a small elastic before putting on a bow. I would be firm with her about keeping it in, but the minute my back was turned she would get it out (rub her head on anything until it was loose and would fall off). I finally cut her hair short on top, but it is beginning to grow out again and I sure would like to be able to get her use to a bow? I've been trying again every day and every day she has the elastic out w/i an hour. Any suggestions? Thanks.
