| Glad you asked this! Mine hates wearing anything. If we put a tee-shirt (or anything!) on her she freezes like a statue She just stands in one place looking pathetic. I've tried food to motivate her to move forward... it works only with a light weight shirt that has short sleeved "arms'. She soon gets over it and runs around as if she were nekkid lol |

| I have the same problem with my little Bailey, she only likes the lite weight tee shirts, In the summer I'm able to put little lite sun dresses on her and after 10-15 minutes she's fine. It just takes a lot of time and patience, get on the floor and play with them until they fell secure with the new clothes. Maggie doesn't mind too much, she just puts up with it and goes on her merry way. Good Luck |

| I always knew when I got a yorkie I would get a small one and dress it. I think I started putting Teddi in clothes a few weeks after I got her and have never stopped. I also started putting barettes in within a few weeks so she would be used to that too.

YT 2000 Club Member | That is basically what I had to do with Jeter. I would put his sock sweater that I made on him only when I was going to take him out side to potty.

| Mine hated it from the beginning so I didn't force it. They would look so pityful.

| Roxi didn't like it too much at first, but I only put her in tank tops, I don't put her in dresses or pants.. If we have her out at night and its cold I will put her in a hoodie, but thats it... Now she loves her shirts, and stick her head out waiting when I bring out a shirt!! She's weird... But I would just try it for a few minutes at a time at first, and build from there!!! Good luck!!
