I really really want to try and put bows etc into Katie's hair.

(Chloe's hair was too thin to do anything with)

But I can't do a thing with Katie's hair. I brush it and it just sticks up again!! I mean take a look at this......................

Oh but she's cute. lol. Do you remember the sheep dog from the Bugs Bunny cartoons? ...he has a tuft of hair like that. Oh it kills me to see to see also it's from little sausage....what a cute name....it's sad to thing of the ones that have left but also nice to hear of him just the same.

thanks for your reply...Brenda

I bought papers yesterday for Ava's top knot. The first few tries looked hysterical, I'm glad I remembered this thread.

Man, this is gonna take ALOT of practice on my part!

I can't imagine having a maltese in full coat much less attempting to show one without this forum.

am just now reading this and so very informative . . .I was wondering if if you can buy papers that are not white as my babies don't have the white coat . .I also would love to know where you bought that comb . .thank you for your time. Your baby is the perfect model and your tutorial is PERFECT . . . makes me wish I had a malt :P

Rocky only gets on his back when he wants to...like for belly rubs. Otherwise, he refuses to lay on his side or back for me.

You train them to do so. I bought a neck pillow. made it easier for me. You don't have to though, a rolled up towel works fine. I taught " head down' using treats when he did what i wanted. It just takes a lot of patience and consistancy. I just taught Moxie to lie on his back & side so i can brush his underbelly and eventually it'll make it easier to trim his paw pads. I will try to incorporate that into our routine this weekend. I just placed him on his back. After he stayed a few seconds i gave him a small treat and praised like heck.
Good luck.

So. Let's say I have a band around a little topknot "spray" and I want to put the bow on, a bow from Marj with the 2 bands. I've already twisted a band around 3 times. I am not using papers; do I need to use them to make this work? The tiny bands on the bow only twist once at most with my wiggly girl... she's really hard to work on (although we are practicing and slowly getting better).

I'd like her to wear bows just to get used to them. So far, I put the bow in, put her in the carrier and by the time we get to work she has it out and is chewing it. Perhaps just time/ patience? Or she'll have more hair and it will all work out?

Are you making the topknot first, then adding the bow? The bands on the bows shouldn't be used to make the topknot. They shouldn't be twisted, just used for placement.

If she is trying to get the bow out and chewing on it, I'd suggest starting with just a topknot and having her get used to that first.

Glad to join this forum as I learn a lot from all maltese owner here... I've just started to use the wrapping paper on my girls and I'm thinking to try the mesh type... wonder if they will ship to my place? cause the one we have here in 'cotton-type-look-alike' paper and it came with big packet in which we need to cut it by ourself...

[mecelizabeth]

how many times do you wrap the small band
