 Help for topknots
I have used barettes and clips from the "human little girl" department. They are easy to snap in, and you don't have to wrestle with your little one while you try to pull the hair through the band. It's a good starting plase until they get used to the feel of a bow and having you mess with their natural 'do. Just be careful that they don't pull them out and chew on or eat the barettes. Mine have shaken their heads and chewed their barettes as if to say, "Take that!" I bought a gorgeous crystal barette that my Abegail promptly slung across the room...guess she prefers the natural look. It took a long time to get her to let me do her topknot and now she's a pro at it. We all know Yorkies can be little terrors...just keep at it and she'll eventually give up. A breeder once told me that you have to be willing to try one more time than your dog will resist. Common sense, I know, but I got the point. Good luck!
