Query: Almost Useless

I wanted to use this to keep my small dog from scratching his infected ear, and to get him to stop licking his paws and causing infection on his paws from all the moisture. Well, it took my dog LESS THAN 12 hours to figure out how to get the thing to fold up so he could scratch his ears and lick his paws. The thing only works if I am there every moment to unfold the thing, and order my dog to "stop it". It is almost useless. I am going to tape a rim of hard plastic to the outer rim so that it won't fold up.
