Shaking....... Anytime I put on a dress or a sweater on Darla she immediately puts her ears back and starts shaking, she cant walk normal, she half way squats and shakes. I just got the cutest Halloween dress for her from Y2H on Etsy and its adorable on her. However the shaking is horrible. Its like she feels punished? I don't get it. Take it off her and BAM back to normal. I've put it on her at least 10 mins the last couple days each and I talk to her try to get her to play even give her treats NOPE she stands there and shakes. She will follow me room to room but she shakes, sulks and ears are completely back. What do I do? |
LOL!!!!! My little guy does that when I put a collar on him!!!! However, I would start with a simple sweater to get her used to it, probably won't be as bulky as a Halloween costume. Basically stick to your guns and leave it on her, she should get used to it by Halloween! |
My late Lizzie always did that, her whole 15 yrs of her of life. Some dog's just do not like to wear clothes. |
My Oscar does the same thing . He hates wearing clothes .. He hides under the table when he sees them.. |
Give a treat when you put it on, then take it off. Do this off and on for a few days. Slowly start lengthening the time and give more treats and she will begin to love clothes. She is just scared right now. |
Barney does that every time we get the fly swatter out and we have NEVER swatted him. It makes you feel just terrible. Sadly, flies are safe to fly in our house because we feel too guilty to swat them with Barney around. |
Huey will wear a shirt, but anything more (like a Halloween costume) and he becomes paralyzed and stands in one place- many times leaning against a wall as if it is too heavy for him to stand unaided- until it is removed. The only good part of this is it is the only time he will stand still for photos! :lol tears |

Charlie often will shake in the elevator, usually only on the way down. Not sure if it's due to the vibrations, or if he's just excited because he knows he's going somewhere ? |

I agree. Galen would not allow me to put anything thing on. I would give him treats when I put it on and off. Then I would give him a treat when he is wearing it. |
Lola will do this .....mine hate clothes also unless they are freezing. lol |
I don't understand. If a dog clearly does not want, or is afraid to wear clothes, why make them? Isn't that putting your own wants and needs before the dog's? |
I wouldn't do this to my dog. I'd just heat up the house more if it were cold and keep the times outside shorter. Unless it is totally freezing, your little baby won't freeze to death without clothing. They are animals and even without a double coat, a Yorkie won't freeze or grow ill without clothing in the house or outside for a while. Dogs usually shake to show emotion like fear, anxiety or from pain. They don't walk when in clothing because they feel restricted and uncomfortable so probably you ought to just accede to her wishes and keep her clothing free. Tibbe won't wear clothing and I cater to his wishes and keep him clothing free. Anything my baby wants he gets, including the freedom to decide what HE wants and to even go without cute shirts if he wants. |

I agree. If one of mine didn't want to wear clothes I would just have to agree with their wishes. Unless it was really cold. I would still make them wear coats. I don't see anything wrong with either. If you personally wanted to get them to like clothes gradually. I would be happy you did it that way than to just shove in & forget about pups emotions. If even after a few tries the situation doesn't improve. Id just say your baby doesn't like clothes.! |
My boys don't like clothes either. Its funny, they let me put them on them, but then they rub against anything they can to get it off. Dex shakes. I only put sweaters when it's cold and Pats jerseys for the games when I'm home! I let them do their thing and eventually they get over it and move even with it on. |
Tibbe rubs himself against the furniture when he's got a sweater or any item of clothing on usually, with the exception of some Christmas togs that KiminMD sent him - a little hat and scarf. He wore those like a champ for a good while. Tibbe does have a little coat and zillions of sweaters but I only make him wear something to go outside if it's truly freezing - in the teens or less. It's warm in the house all the time even in the cold winter so he doesn't need anything to protect him from the cold really. And I never let him stay out in freezing weather long for fear his tiny toes or nose or ears will get frostbite or something. But until I get him outside, he's rubbing his body in the sweater or coat up against the furniture or wall! Little toot! Then he comes right to me as soon as he gets back inside and barks if I don't get his sweater/coat off immediately. Then he wallows for about five minutes and runs around like a wild man - so glad to be free. |

Well I have to say my human kids also went for a period where they didn't like clothes either and proceeded to take them off and run around naked. If it was an okay situation for it I let them, if it was not they had to learn to wear them.So if your dog doesn't have to wear it then by all means let him run around free but if he or she needs them or you just want a couple pics then by all means do it and then reward them and then take off. I think dogs just like kids have to learn some things may not be what they want but they have to adapt. I agree to take it slow though. Maybe just a little Velcro thing to start with no arm/leg holes, then slowly work your way up..Jess didn't like them at first either so I gave up for a while. I just put a prisoner costume on her today and she was fine. Its amazing how they change over time. Intolerable things one month may mean nothing the next..hmmm..just like human kids:smile: |
I don't know how much sodium is good or bad for our pups, but I see that there is 300Mg of sodium in a jar of chicken sticks. How many in a jar? I wonder if the puréed chicken (plain chicken in a jar) has as much? I like the idea of not having to cook Maggie's chicken breast,but the sodium is something I'd like to learn more about. Does anybody know? |
