| Help My little girl Paris is such a DIVA. She will let you know if she doesn't like what you're doing! I was brushing Prince and she came over so I started brush her. She doesn't have tangles and I was hardly brushing her well she went into DIVA mode and started growling and bighting at the brush. She has done this before when I wanted her to stand still for a picture. It is kinda funny she is so full of attitude! What do I do to make her like the brushing???

| You might try letting her see and sniff the brush beforehand..or you could give her a doggy massage while you are brushing her to let her know getting brushed is a good thing..or you could try giving her treats..I always talk to my dogs while i'm grooming..i tell them what a good girl they are ect. ect..BUT some dogs no matter what never like being groomed and some finally give up and let ya lol..

| Emerald hates to be brushed as well Peeka used to love it, now you can tell he just tolerates it, Dutchess just loves to be brushed, Sheeba likes it, she lets me brush her, and Raven sheems to really like she quits shaking and just lays there, so i think it just takes time!

| My Rhapsody is exactly the same way! And it's a mean growl and she's really trying to attack the brush!! I've been brushing her a little bit everyday, until she gets too mean, lol, then I'll stop. I've noticed in the past week she's getting better and better. The first day she only tolerated about 2 min., and tonight she let me do everything except the inside of her back legs (which I was doing last) then did a warning growl at the brush, and attacked about a minute later. Point is, try brushing a little everyday; it seems to be working with Rhapsody -- she even seemed to enjoy getting her tummy brushed tonight! Jess, Rhapsody, and Tiger
