Instructions
Assess the shape of your dog's head. A tin foil hat should allow for natural ear movement so your dog can still hear properly.
Have your dog relaxed and sitting in front of you. He will need to be calm and not jumping around while you form the tin foil hat around his head. Take him for a good walk first so he doesn't have excess energy.
Unroll a sheet of tin foil. This will depend on the size of your dog's head. A Yorkie will only need about a foot of tin foil, while a Great Dane may need 3 feet. Give your dog a treat to encourage him to stay still.
Place the tin foil over your dog's head, between the ears. Fold it over and start crimping and forming it with your fingers to comfortably go around the ears and down to the base of the skull. Give your confused dog another treat and don't let him bite the foil as you work.
Make sure you have formed a tin foil skull cap to fit your dog's head snugly. Now tear another sheet and fold it around the form you have, crimping it so it becomes more rigid. The extra thickness will help shield your dog from the more powerful mind control rays.
Tear pieces of duct tape and use them to secure the layers of tin foil. It is fine to use generous amounts of duct tape to hold the hat in place. As you work, periodically put it back on your dog's head to ensure the shape still conforms nicely to his skull and around his ears. Give him a treat and lots of praise each time so he associates wearing his new hat with positive reinforcement.
Avoid the temptation to decorate your dog's tin foil hat. Materials such as felt or other types of fabric are too absorbent and may soak up and retain mind control rays. If you must decorate the hat, use reflective accents like sequins. These are shiny and will help deflect the damaging rays. Attach sequins to the hat with hot glue.
