How to you yorkie lovers get your lil babies used to lil bows in their hair. I can put on on Roxy when she is playing with her nyla bone or distracted besides that she takes it out. What kind can I get that will stay in?

It's like hat training with kids....you have to start them out young. My sister's kids used to wear hats all the time and people would ask her how she gets them to keep them on and she would just say "you have to hat train them when they are young". Teddi doesn't try to take anything out of her hair but I have had bows on her since her hair was barely long enought to have one. Good luck!!

The key is getting that rubberband wrapped around the hair tight enough to make sure it's hard for them to get out of their hair. After a while, she'll get used to it.

I started Penny out with bows as soon as her hair was long enough. she'll leave them in, but her brother tries to take them out, and I have one matted head of hair. I finally gave up, and now I just dress her up in pretty desses.
