Have you heard of doggles? These are sunglasses that have been custom-made to fit around your dog’s head and eyes. They have straps to help them stay on your dog. They serve the same purpose as your sunglasses do.
If you engage in many activities with your dog, it’s best to give him the appropriate protection as well. However, if you’re considering having your dog sport a pair of doggles or any accessory for that matter he’s going to require some training and loads of positive reinforcements. Be patient, as training doesn’t happen overnight, but will usually take a few sessions. Make sure you do your sunglasses or doggles training outdoors so it’s easier for your dog to see.
Like any training, be sure to immediately reward your dog with a treat every time he wears the sunglasses so he understands he did a good job.
For more information about your dog’s eye care, you can visit your veterinarian Portland, OR.
