The most important thing when working with animals is to keep things fun and go slowly. You’ll want the first introduction of your pet hat or wig to be really positive—treats are a must! Before putting the hat or wig on, allow your pet to look at it, sniff it, and inspect it. Give them lots of high-value rewards for doing so—praise, affection, and delicious goodies work wonders.
From there, start placing the hat or wig on your pet for a second at a time while rewarding them. Take it off and reward them again. Repeat this process until your furbaby ignores the hat and focuses on treats instead.
Slowly work your way up with longer intervals of the hat being on their head. They’ll associate the pet wig or pet hat with things they love, whether it’s snuggles from dad or a slice of cheese. Soon enough, they’ll start running over to you the moment they see their fashionable accessory to expect some rewards while looking fabulous.
