YT 500 Club Member | so frustrated OK, my son and his wife have two mix dogs that live with us. Plus I have my two fur babies. A boy 6 years old and a girl 1 and a half years old. Every time I put a top knot on my girl, one of my sons dog yanks it off her head and eats it. Now my baby looks like her hair is thinning on top and will lose more if this continues. His dog one a girl same age as mine does this every time. His other dog doesn't do this or my boy. The two girls play rough and guaranteed with a top knot on, it will disappear in seconds. I'm trying to grow my girl furbabies hair long, but at this rate, it may not happen. Ugh, what do I do? I use little scrunchies hair ponytail holders. And when picking up poop in the back yard, you can see all the different colored scrunchies in the poo. I'm so frustrated. My girl needs her hair up because its always in her face. Any suggestions? I'd hate to ask them to move out because of this problem.

| Would spraying bitter apple (or something similar) on the ribbon/band hurt the fur or irritate the skin? |

| Can you set up a training sessions? Have your son and wife, yourself take the one that pulls the scrunchies out and your girl.. Put it in her hair, wait till he goes to pull it out and have your son say No and correct him.. do this a couple times a day. I think that would be the best bet here, he needs to be taught that is not ok to do.

| Put Vicks vapor rub on the s crunchy, it lasts longer than bitter apple, is safe, and pups don't like taste. ( my trainer taught me this) |

| I would be very careful about doing this as it can cause the potential for gastrointestinal upset.
