An ear brace for dogs, such as Doberman-Pinschers, whose ears require support during their early weeks and months to train the dog to hold its ears erect. The ear brace comprises a light wire frame having a crossarm slightly larger than the width of the dog\s head, and two toed-in side arm members which converge inwardly as they extend downwardly from opposite sides of the crossarm. At the end of each side-arm member remote from the crossarm a substantially 90 degree bend is formed, toed inwardly and extending for about one-half inch and a reversely directed bend is then formed to provide a return portion in each side-arm member. The return portion of each side-arm member extends upwardly angled toward the respective ends of the crossarm from which the side-arm members depend, on a line which if extended would progressively approach the junction of each respective side-arm member and the respective ends of the crossarm from which they depend. The ear brace is used by spreading apart the side-arm members and sliding down on each side of the dog\s head over the ears, then releasing the side-arm members to clamp each ear against the side of the dog\s head.

An ear brace for dogs, comprising a crossarm corresponding in dimension to the width of that part of a dog\s head on which it is to be used and being slightly larger than such width, and side-arm means depending from said crossarm, wherein said side-arm means includes a first straight member depending from one end of said crossarm at an angle thereto to provide a first main side-arm, a second straight member depending from the opposite end of said crossarm at an angle thereto to provide a second main side-arm, said first and second side-arms being angled with respect to said crossarm to converge inwardly as they extend from said crossarm.
