| I do Crystal's topknot every day because I want to keep this hair that grows like wildfire out of her eyes. I like bows but I don't always put them in. Whoever said "it can't be too loose and it can't be too tight" which sounded alittle crazy but is exactly correct. I use the band like the orthodontist would use on children's teeth but you can also purchase them at alot of websites that sell bows like Show Off and The Finishing Touch but I'm going to look at these dollar store ones. Once you have the band use what I think is called a fan tail comb (one with comb part and then a long thin handle) Use the handle and put it through the hair below the band and pull it out so the hair puffs out a bit. This will help make it comfortable for the dog and then you can do any creative thing you want but getting the dog happy with it means getting it comfortable. Good Luck.

| Poor Gracie, she has a cotton coat on her back and "undercarriage". Her head and legs are the only silky hair she has. She stresses so much when I brush her cotton area that I haven't the heart to top knot her. |

| Male-clips, Female-topnot/bows When we are Home, I leave both of them alone.....but before we go out they both go through their daily Grooming routine. This tells them that they have to do all these things to be able to go out. I start with my male Artie first, depending on the weather, I will spray him with a leave in conditioner, comb his hair while checking for fleas, brush his teeth and was out his eyes. The last thing I do is put his hair in a mini-clamp clip. I found the best @ Walmart, 20 for $1.50 since my female Abigail, chews it out of his hair as soon as we get back home. (Disposable I guess?) He will not where a topnot the hair gets pulled out by the rubberbands. Abigail is only 8 months, she only started wearing her topnot for the past 2 weeks, I only make her wear it for limited amounts of time until she gets used to it. I fix her hair right before we walk out the door so she does'nt have time to mess it up. Besides being distracted by everything else outdoors, itsafe until we get back at home. Patience to put it in, Tolerance and consistency to keep it in, Training/correction when she trys to pull it out? For the most part she accepts all the fussing, dressing and all the jewelry/collars. But in the end she is still first and formost a "Terrier" if she really wanted it out it would be. Nice of her to cater to my whims? Good Luck! |
