Had to share. I got Stryker's new wrapping jacket in today....I went right to work wrapping his coat, he looked so cute! I loved it! Stryker...Uhh not so much....The jacket looks like Hugh Hefner's pajamas. LOL He looked so handsome, it was funny seeing him trying to figure out how to get it off...I laughed so hard..

...before and after photos below.

He looks ready for work. Too Cute. At what age should one use wraps?

There are some others on this forum that can answer better than I can. I started practicing on him last month. He is 7 1/2 months old. I do a few at a time to get him use to the process. At the same time I put treats in a little bowl to keep him happy. This was the first time I wrapped his whole body. I still have trouble getting him wrapped around his face....that...is a challenge.

Where did you get the wrapjacket? And what bands/size do you use with the paper?

Sookie · 09-21-2009, 02:36 PM

He's a cutie...he looks like he's smiling. Good luck in your endeavors.

There is a YT member that makes them. It's at wrappingjackets.com. Her name is Kristena Bravo. It was very well made and they shipped very fast, even with monogram.

Oh he wasn't smiling...LOL it was more like a growl or maybe a smirk...he was not happy with wearing Hugh Hefner pajamas.

Oh Pam he is such a doll! It looks great and I am so glad it fits him so perfectly with a little room to grow!

Love love love the colors you chose!

Carl if you are reading this yours is coming soon--we had to do a little perfecting on the S/M size and she's making the orders now.

It really depends on the dog and the length of the coat. I cant say exactly but I believe most people start wrapping between 9-12 months, some earlier and some dont wrap. I started my 12m/o boy at 7 months.

I would keep them in oil and when you need to start wrapping just the back/front legs where the hair usually touches the ground first and then after they adjust, wrap the entire body.

My pup LOVES to backstroke on the carpet (and do the down and back on textured walls) so I HAVE to keep a jacket on him 24/7.

Pam, for the face it might be helpful if you start by loosely banding the mustache to get him used to something being on his face and then after about a month switch to paper wraps.

Thanks, I'll try that. I have put his mustache in bands but it didn't last 3 minutes and the little stinker had them out. I'll keep trying...maybe he will get use to it....

Pam, Stryker looks adorable in his new jacket. I can't wait to see him in the show ring.

ME TOO....Soon i hope to have two of them in the ring. I let you know how it goes in Canada.

Stryker's coat does look like Hugh Hefner's pjs! Adorable! So, how long do you leave them in wraps? Do they stay that way all the time when not showing? I have always been curious about this. Although Ben has floor-length hair, I have never wrapped him. I know the ends would stay nicer if I did, but it is hard enough to keep a topknot in this rowdy boy!
