TIPS FOR WEARING YOUR NEW DOGGLES.
How cool will your dog look in the latest doggy
shades! But first you'll need to teach your dog to be handled around their face
so they will want to wear their Doggles!
- Remove the lenses
from your ILS Doggles because some of the
lenses are dark. By removing the lenses your dog will get used to their Doggles
much quicker and will be able to see you while you help.
- You need to make a positive association for your dog
with the sunglasses by holding them in your hand and drawing the dog's attention
to them. When they look at the glasses, praise and reward them with a yummy
treat.
- Get your dog to sit then slowly raise the sunglasses
towards their face. Praise and reward with a treat if they sit confidently and
don't move away. If they move away start again with the sunnies further away
from their face.
- Bring the sunnies closer to your dog's eyes,
praising and rewarding with yummy treats as you progress.
- Now for the exciting part. Place the sunnies on your
dog's nose, just for a second then remove. If your dog didn't move praise and
reward with some more yummy treats, and a couple of extra treats for being so
brave!
- Now, carefully fit the 'Doggles frame & strap'
on to your dogs face. Don't leave them too long! Your dog might try to take them
off! Quickly praise your dog and give lots of yummy treats, and quickly take the
Doggles off. You're on your way to the coolest dog in the street!
- Gradually increase the time that your dog wears
their cool shades. Continue to reward your dog every now and then if they are
not trying to remove their Doggles.
- Make it part of your dogs routine to wear their
Doggles when going for a walk or a drive.
- When your dog gets used to wearing Doggles insert
the lenses to protect your dogs eyes! COOL DUDE!
