The Best Holiday Apparel And Accessories For Dogs
Dressing your dog up isn't just for Halloween costumes! This holiday season, don't forget to pick up some Christmas dog clothes and costumes, whether they be ugly sweaters or reversible bandanas. Outfits and accessories are fun for your dog to wear for holiday photos and festive gatherings. However, always make sure to supervise your dog when they are wearing Christmas accessories. When picking holiday outfits for your dog, use treats and positive reinforcement methods to introduce your dog to the piece of clothing or accessory. If your dog is comfortable getting dressed up, go for a dog dress or dog costume, but if your dog isn't comfortable wearing outfits, stick with non-intrusive accessories like collars, festive leashes, or bandanas. If your dog is ever uncomfortable in their outfit or accessory, remove it immediately.
