It is VERY IMPORTANT that the following steps are followed exactly. The measurements and placement of the pieces is VERY important!! If you choose to try this method on your dog or puppy I am not in any way responsible for the possible outcome of your dogs ears.
Prepare Moleskin per the instructions below when done they should look like this
- Cut 1 piece 3 ½" x ¼" |
- Peel back off of 1 ½" x 1 ½" piece, apply glue to entire back let set for a couple of minutes and place inside bottom of ear all the way down to the "button" at the base of the ear. Make sure piece is straight across top. Repeat in other ear making sure the straight part of both pieces is at same height, this is very important for proper break placement.
- Peel back off of small piece with yarn, using speed sew or jiffy sew, glue onto 1 ½" x 1/ ½" piece so that yarn pieces are straight across top of dogs head.
- Peel back off of 1" x 1" piece, apply glue to entire back let set for a couple of minutes and place in top of each ear.
When you are done both ears will look like this
- Tie the two pieces of yarn together, pull VERY TIGHT!!! Ears will look like they are crossing if done correctly. Snip off excess yarn.
- Peel back off of long rectangular piece and cover with glue. Place on top of yarn pieces at top of dogs head as additional brace.
- Cover top piece in ear with glue and press down to bottom piece leaving a small space for breathing room. Make sure you are glueing the ear straight down and not following the inner line as you have pulled them together.
- These braces should stay in for a good 2 - 3 weeks depending on the weather and how fast your puppy is growing. Remove them completely as soon as any piece becomes loose!! Feel free to email me if you have questions!!!
When you are done they should look like this
