| How old is she?? Gracie is 11 1/2 weeks and clothes are fine. We have put a bow in several afternoons to try and get her used to it. She leaves them in so far. |

| Lily is really young. I would say keep trying and she will get used to them. Mine don't like them either, but I've never really made them wear them everyday so they didn't get used to them. She will do fine

| She is so young, if you keep putting them on for small periods of time it could get better try a dress for 15-20 mins a day for the next two weeks and then try a hair tie (try keeping her hair up for awhile before adding the bow) for the next two weeks and go from there. You can do either or first but try for short periods with rewards to distract her from the dress or bow. BTW- Some poochies wont wear dresses or clothes with sleeves, try something loose and without sleeves that may help. Good luck

| My girls just stand like statues when I put something on them. Sometimes I just put a tee shirt on them in the house when it's cool and they tolerate that. Have patience and just keep trying. She is a little young. I used to put barbie nightgown on Pebbles. There is a picture of her in my album. I get so jealous of those mommy's who could dress them and they just prance around in their new outfit. My girls hate it. As for my Coco (male) he loves clothes. He comes running and actually puts his little head in the t-shirt. they are soooo cute. Good luck with your little one.

| Same I have the same problem with my female and my male just looks like hes so sad when you put just a hat or shirt on him. At first she would just lay down if you put anything on her now she just fight to get it off |

| It just makes me laugh when I think of all the babies that stand like a statue when they are dressed. It is so funny, my last little boy used to do that. But now I put clothes on my 6mth. old female and my male tries to pull them off of her . They are so amusing. |

| I am so lucky that Missy loves dressing up. She willingly sticks her head through the shirt holes, and puts one paw through the arm holes at a time. She really enjoys it, but I started dressing her when I got her at 7 weeks of age. She's pretty much ALWAYS dressed, unless it's a very hot day. She's well behaved when I am doing her hair too. She wasn't always that way though. I was very patient with her. I'd do her hair, she'd take it out, I'd redo it, she'd take it out, I'd redo it....finally she gave up Maybe you could try putting a shirt on Lily and taking her out for a little walk as soon as she puts it on. It will distract her and reward her at the same time.

Mine are like that they are like little statues if u put anything but sleevleess on them. They love the sleeveless things though. They would rather wear a harness dress and harness vest than a regular harness. Lolita loves her bows and never bothers them. Laddy on the other hand hates even his topknot and will work till he gets the bands out.
