Tips & Warnings
When you introduce the wig, make sure the dog doesn’t grab it and run out the door to bury it in the backyard.
Red wigs look good on wolf dogs while mean-looking dogs benefit most from curly hair like Shirley Temple.
If you really want to secure the wig and know you are never going to use it again, you can cut small holes in the wig for the dog’s ears.
Your dog may hate you for some time following this procedure.
