- Dress Gradually: Start by gently placing the item over your dog’s head or back while continuously praising and offering treats.
- Adjust as Needed: Fasten any buckles or velcro slowly, reassuring your dog throughout the process.
- Reward Completion: Once fully dressed, give a final reward and some playtime to associate dressing up positively.
