How to train your dog to wear sunglasses! (Starring Ninja)

How to train your dog to wear sunglasses for funny pictures- Ninja is my 8 year old Lab/Akita and she loves training time because she gets so much love and attention. :) Have your dog sit down and relax a bit. Let them check the sunglasses out. They will be curious about them, so let them sniff away. Gently say "Stay" and put them on your dog's face. If they swat them off, gently repeat the previous step. Once they get that you want them to sit still, reward them with a treat and lots of petting. Do this for maybe 5 minutes at a time and take breaks so the don't get bored. Eventually, you can stay backing away as they are wearing the sunglasses to be sure they have it down. It took Ninja about 30 minutes to get it and now she does it every time. :)
