Do they like wearing things in their hair??? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Are all Yorkies pretty comfortable wearing bows in their hair or is it a praticed art? Lol...

Chloe hates it! Maybe one day she will get used to it!

I think you need to start them young. Ben and Sadie would just pull each other's bow out, so I stopped trying. Now, with just Ben, I tried and he just shook and rubbed til he got it off. He seems determined not to have a bow.

I always love the look of a show-ready Yorkie with a nice red bow in their topknot.

My cookie son't keep hers in either. i've tried the regular groomers bands, little girl barrettes, and claw clips. So far she has gotten everything out. Anybody have any ideas?

My 2 boy's will keep bows and top nots in but my Girl...NO WAY! She rupbs her haed all over the place and used her paws to try to pull it out

Zoe will NOT wear bows or clothes. The boys will sometimes tolerate clothing but absolutely nothing in their hair! Its a matter of being consistent from the get go.

I try to keep something in Stewart's topknot daily. Sometimes it's only for a couple of hours. He no longer rubs and pulls I think consistency is the key!

Mimi loves getting her hair done!

She'll lie down on my lap & put her head on my leg & wait patiently until I fix her hair. I've been doing this ever since she was 7 months old & she's always had long hair since. Now, as for Momo...he won't stay still for even 2 seconds for me to do anything to him!

When he was a pup, he used to pull Mimi's hairband & barrettes & eat them! I'll come home to Mimi's hair all messed up & find hairbands & barrettes (TG it was the tiny snappy kinds) in his poop!

He doesn't do this anymore, so I think as pups; just like children, they don't like stuff in their hair & their mommies fussing over them.

Genghis doesn't complain when I put a top knot in his hair, he does protest when I go crazy and put a bunch of top knots all the way down his back! But it's sooooo cute. Next time I do it I'll take pictures and post!

I also want to know this!

I guess you can start at any age as long as there's enough hair to put in a top knot. The earlier the better I think, so they'll get used to it. I couldn't wait to put stuff in Mimi's hair when she was a pup, so I used tiny snappy barrettes cuz her hair wasn't long enough. Puppies have a tendency to chew stuff & eat it, so make sure it's secure.
