How to Train a Dog to Wear Winter Clothes: Tips from a Dog Trainer
Having thick fur is not a reason to think that the dog is not afraid of any frost. Not only sleeping in snowdrifts, but even tolerating frosts are not something that all dog breeds can do.
Therefore, in the cold season, you need to take care of the availability of clothes for your pet. But the dog still needs to be trained to wear vests and overalls.
The head of the Russian Cynological Federation, Vladimir Golubev, spoke about how to do this on Radio 1.
According to the expert, it is important to take your time in this matter and not expect the dog to like the clothes right away.
You need to get used to the idea that the dog must get used to the process of getting dressed and to wearing the clothes themselves.
Therefore, all preparatory activities must be carried out at home.
There is also no point in being persistent and forcing your pet to wear new clothes.
You need to train it in a calm environment. The dog should fully examine the clothes and sniff them.
Then the dog can be rewarded for good behavior.
As for the clothes themselves, overalls are the best choice. Some dogs even have to buy boots.
