Dog-Shaming Halloween Costumes!

Do you love dog-shaming.com as much as we do? Whether you have a dog constantly causing you frustration at school, or you just miss the little troublemaker you left behind at home, honor your devilish little pet this Halloween with a dog shaming costume!

Of course, you can always put a sign around the neck of your furry friend, but if you want to have a really unique costume this year, dress as a shamed dog yourself! Anyone familiar with the site will get the joke immediately, and you really have the chance to get creative. Browse the site for some of the funniest shamed pups, or use your own pet horror stories.

Remember when you were a little kid and you got your face painted as a dog? Use some face paint (or eyeliner, if you’re in a rush!) to draw a nose, whiskers and some spots on your face. Add a pink tongue lolling out of your mouth if you’re up for it! Make floppy doggy ears out of fabric or construction paper and an old headband, or buy some ears at a Halloween store. Then, you just have to dress in furry puppy colors and practice your best bark!

Now it’s time for the sign: grab a piece of cardboard or construction paper, a good marker, and shame away! Hang the sign around your neck, and your outfit is complete. But you can always get more elaborate. Add props, like deflated toys, destroyed shoes, and chewed pillows. You can even glue some loose feathers to your outfit!

How will you get creative with your dog shaming costume? Sound off in the comments!
