Resorting to a headscarf
« on: March 29, 2017, 04:49:47 PM »

While sitting on the sofa, to prevent my beloved, yet unbelievably persistent puppy, from swinging from my hair a la The Hunchback of Notre Dame. (The bells! The bells!)

If I put it up in a hairband,  he pulls the band out and eats it.
If I leave it loose, he swings from it and pulls it hard
If I yelp - often very loudly, since OUCH -  he pulls harder
If I say no and feed him treats, he listens beautifully to 'no', gets down to eat the treat reward and then nips back up to carry on 
If I move him away, he patiently leaps back up and resumes
If I get up and go behind one of the baby gates for a few minutes he waits beautifully until I return and then resumes.
If I prevent him from getting behind me or beside me he makes increasingly energetic leaps at my head.
My hair is apparently the best toy in the house.

If I wear a headscarf, tightly tied down, he looks extremely reproachful and goes to sleep.

Can't WAIT for him to grow out of this one!!!!!

What if you tied your hair in a bun?

I can't wear my hair down either since I got Lily  :005:

Never had a problem with puppies attacking my hair, but the horses constantly tried to eat it. Made me seriously question my highlights, straw was not the look I was going for  :005:

You had me in tears! I thought I was the only one with a hair obsessed cockerdile.

My little grabs my hair every chance she gets and pulls with all her might. She rips out my scrunchies - tying my hair back only makes her more excited. If I scream, I can actually see the expression on her face change into a little devilish smile. [emoji53] she smiles all the time. Sigh. She's so lovely (when she's sleeping!) Perhaps I will try the headscarf, thank you for the wonderful idea :)
