Hair Tips - let's see - I've only had experience with my 2 but this is how i got them used to it -

start with not too tight and not too loose bows. Don't use something too 'fun' looking or they'll try to grab it off each other if you have a puppy - stick with simple bands or scrunchies -

never force it on them - Work with their hair a little everyday.... with only small amounts of hair to start - as they learn to sit better - add more hair .... if you see the eyes slanting or REALLY wide open - it's TOO tight lol....


This is a pretty good site with pictures - I OMIT the 2 bands and only use one - http://www.yorkies4me.com/topknots.htm
Thank you for the advise. We sit Reesie on our bar stool to fix her hair so it's very routine for her and she doesn't mind us fixing it. It's after we fix it that she gets tired of it and rips it out. Or our puppy attacks it !!

I know what you mean about the eyes slanting. I had to tell our groomer to go easy on the tightness. They get carried away sometimes .
