How do you keep a topknot in??

How do you get them to stay in??

I never had this problem with my older one, but with my two littlest ones I tie them up with a tiny latex band, add a cute little bow.....all neat & tidy.....don't they look angelic

Within an hour the bow's either hanging down over one eye, or dangling down the back, or disappeared altogether, so then it's hunt the bow all over the house

I couldn't keep Joey's topknot in either, until I followed the directions given in this website. http://www.thedivadogbowtique.com/howto.php

shows you how to put it in and keep it in. Two different topknot styles.
My signature has a link to my website. Look at the "Instructional DVD's" menu.

I can't keep one in Cali anymore because Roxie my 6 month old takes it right out. I just started being able to keep one on Roxie this week. As they get older they seem to adjust.

Your post made giggle outloud the way it was worded because I have been there.. done that... and experienced it exactly as you said Mostly with my 2 shih tzus and have not tried on my yorkie yet. They are all three boys so my hubby doesn't think it looks to masculine, but I like them anyway! I read the post from the 2nd person and that is how I was taught to do the shih tzus too. Using the 2 seperate bands is key to keeping it in!! Good Luck!

By praying ..it doesn't last long. I do find that the groomers rubber bands stay in well and then I can put a clip on top of that. If I put the clip in only she rubs her head and gets it out.

Thank you for that link, I'll try that.

It doesn't help when each thiinks the other's bow is a new toy to pull

My hubby too thinks that the bow thing is too fru fru... but I still have a bow for Odie. I will just make sure that the bows are manly like
