6 Tips on introducing your dog to wearing Designer Dog Clothes

Your dog is your companion, best friend and holds a special place in your heart. He or she is a part of your family and a huge part of your life. So, if you’re a fashion conscious dog owner you’ll more than likely want your dog to be dressed in the height of fashion too. This means one thing for your dog – Designer Dog Clothes! 

Some dogs may be a little reluctant the first time you attempt to turn him or her into a fashion diva. If your dog is one of these then you have to exercise a little patience and a little nous. 

If you want to start them on the road to becoming a fashion icon here are a few pointers to guide you on your way: 

1) Start with a one-piece outfit that's fairly loose and easy to get on and off.

2) Don’t rush; Talk gently and soothingly to them whilst slowly putting the garment on them. Stay relaxed and this will be transmitted to your pooch. If you try to rush and are rough the dog will resist and only think of the experience as a bad one, making it very difficult to persuade him to try again.

3) Dress your dog daily or as often as you can to begin with. This will then become routine. If you dress your dog before taking him for a walk he will start to look forward to it as it means he’s going out with you.

4) Praise your dog and cuddle him when dressed (this part is easy as he’ll look so adorable)

5) Once you have got you pup happily wearing a one-piece outfit it is time, if you wish, to move on to multi piece ensembles. Using the same techniques it won’t be long before your dog is as easy to dress as a small child and will look forward to it as much.

6) Make the whole process fun for them and for you. Offer them treats to distract them if they start to chew at the garment. They will soon realize that when wearing their latest fashion statement they garner lots of attention not only from you but from everyone they come into contact with. It won’t be long before they will gladly strut their stuff in order to receive the plaudits and “how cute” comments from every passer-by.

So, in conclusion have patience when introducing your little pal to the wonderful world of designer dog clothes and have fun.
