Keep your clothes on. - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I have never been much of one to dress dogs. I think it is a little silly. After all, God gave them a perfect coat.

But this new little Chorkie shivers when I let him out in the AM. So I bought him a little blue sweater. It looks cute on him because his eyes are blue and they just glow blue when I put that sweater on him. But he immediately starts pulling it off and acts like he can't walk, even though it does'nt bind him in the least.

So how do you get your dog to keep his clothes on?
I want to get him booties,his tiny paws get so cold, but I am thinking I will be looking all over the house for his shoes. Children only loose 2 shoes at a time. The dog will loose 4.

you have to let them beat up the clothes a little bit, let them play with it. i have found that if i let milu play with the comb, the toothbrush first, then she won't hate it as much when i use it on her, she actually thinks we are playing with her when we comb her.

and also, have treats ready whenever you show your puppy the sweater, so he associate good things with the sweater.

good luck! any picture? i want to see his blue eyes!

I don't have a digital camera, but if I can ever get over to my friends house I will get a picture of him on here. I haven't found anyone say they have a dog over 5 mo. with blue eyes.

Find a treat he really likes, and only give it to him when you put on his clothes. He will learn that clothes = yummy treat!
