Why haven't you purchased your dog a body suit?

Can you imagine wrestling a screaming, biting, 80lbs GSD that was not handled enough as a puppy into a body suit?

Why do people keep making this mistake?

It was 2008, much nearer the height of the Cesar Millan hype. Online resources weren't as good as they are now. All I had was a book, and some people at puppy class who had sweet little spaniels and fluffy white things telling me what to do with him. The breeder who we got him from told me to take him by the scruff and give him a shake when he was being troublesome, which was always. He never stopped, never slowed down. His naps were few and far between. He was an unceasing nightmare of a puppy with three Schutzhund dogs in his immediate pedigree. He was my first dog. We'd never even had a family dog before him. In retrospect, this was a grievous error of judgement. He was a toothy little monster and I didn't know what I was doing. When he got too wild, and everyone was sick of dealing with being bitten all the time, we just put him outside for some peace and quiet. Training him was difficult, as he had no food drive whatsoever, little play drive, and no desire to please.

It's an easy mistake to make, given the right set of circumstances and coupled with the right dog. I've learnt a tremendous deal because of this dog, and from my own errors, and would probably do considerably better with any future dogs like him.

I dremel his claws between once and twice a week, and he does not bite me during this exercise. I consider this marked improvement, as he used to immediately bite anyone who so much as laid a finger on one of his toes. But I pick my battles carefully, and I'm not going to try and stuff him into a bodysuit when I can stick a horse-rug style coat on him and be done with it.

I wouldn't need one because it's hot enough where I live, even the winters aren't that cold. Besides, people would think I'm retarded if someone saw my dog wearing that, looks like I forcibly put a child's onsies on the poor thing.
