It will take time and patience. Pants would not be recommended because it would make elimination difficult for Beaux. Shirts, jackets and sweaters are popular, especially in colder climes. Get an appropriate size. Not too tight and not loose. Dress him up and use praise, reward and distraction until he acclimates.
