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!
