How To Get Your Dog To Keep His Sweater On



The answer is actually pretty simple - time, practice and treats.

Just as it usually takes more than one day to teach a dog a new trick it will take more than one day to get your dog used to wearing a sweater. Just keep this in mind when trying to train your dog in any new behavior.

Let’s face it, without enough time, trying to get your dog to accept a new dog sweater for your special event this evening may not work out too well.

You need to approach it gradually. Don’t expect your dog to accept wearing a dog sweater instantly. The trick is starting slowly with repeated, short term exposures to the dog sweater and plenty of dog treats and praise. Just like it took a little time to get your puppy used to a dog leash, your dog will gradually get used to wearing a dog sweater.

Always make it a fun, happy adventure so your dog will associate it with a pleasant experience. It’s counterproductive to train a dog with negative consequences or punishment. Most dogs will have little trouble getting used to a well-fitting dog sweater. If it’s not uncomfortable, loose, or prone to snagging on things your dog will actually look forward to wearing it.

Let him sniff it before you put it on him. You can even rub the sweater on him so that it picks up your dog’s own familiar scent. Only put the dog sweater on your dog for a few minutes at first. Use this time to keep him busy playing or keep him involved in an activity that he likes.

Keep his mind off the sweater while his body becomes used to the unfamiliar sensations. Gradually increase the time he wears it while you keep him occupied with playful attention and dog treats. At this point, don’t leave him alone yet or he may focus on removing the unfamiliar garment. It’s best if you don’t let him associate the feelings of fear or frustration with this new experience.

Your praise and extra attention will go a very long way in training your pooch to wear dog clothing.
