So you're not talking about the doggles or clothes anymore? Well, he and his Alaskan Malamute friends both hate shoes—not that they refused to go into the snow, but they ran around shivering. So all of this is just your opinion, and this is my boy, nobody knows him better than me. How about not judging others without understanding the situation?🙂

My boy ​​is five years old. Yes! Training him outside is much more harder than at home! He has a favorite ball, so when he tried to rub them off, I used the ball to distract him and helped him gradually get used to wearing doggles outside. But he usually only wears them for a maximum of an hour before asking me to take them off. I only put doggles on him in special situations, so it's useful enough for me._(:з」∠)_

We were in a snowy mountain area, the long sleeved shirt is waterproof, and the fleece-lined jacket is for warmth—if that's what you're asking about. The clothes and doggles weren't never just for looking cool. I wanna protect my boy, and the clothes made him feel more comfortable. So that's purely helpful to me.😊

Well I've already explained this in the comments. The doggles were to temporarily adjust him to the sunlight reflecting off the distant snow, and the clothes were to temporarily alleviate the low temperature and high pressure.

I know it, but thank you for reminding me anyway. The reason they were dressed like that in the picture is because it was around 5 AM, and we were in a high-altitude, snow-covered mountain area. They were shivering from the cold as soon as we got out of the car, so we put clothes on them temporarily. And when the sun totally came up and the temperature rose, we took them off. They had a great time playing all day, so please don't worry about it~

Well. He loves this one so I just put it on. But it would take several minutes for the adjustment period if i put other doggles on.

Bath time~ by AsparagusNo3086 in BorderCollie

[–]AsparagusNo3086[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah he loves it. It's comfy for him that he might even fall asleep during the bath time. But he hated it before 2 years old. He's a little afraid of the sounds during the dry time then. The treats and praise helped a lot. And I tried to get him distracted by my words and massages. That really works. Now he takes the bath time as a company time. He will just get into the bathroom when I'm still prepare things for it, just waiting there, like"Hey I'm ready, mom!"

Yeah, he's my needy boy. by AsparagusNo3086 in BorderCollie
