| Grooming tips? I am trying to faithfully comb her every day. The body is fine the back of her head is fine but her face is another story! She does want the comb near her face. She is only 4 lbs and I have no idea WHERE to grab her to keep her face still. You can't grab their neck obviously because of the trachea problem nor a collar! Advice needed PLEASE! |

| I hold Spike by the beard to hold his head still. I brush his beard while he is on his back while I'm brushing his belly. Holding his beard (not hard) seems to settle him right down. |

BANNED FOR NOT MAILING PRODUCTS PURCHASED | you can also hold her ears tight enough so her head wont move, that way you can brush the beard, and it helps if you wash her beard before you comb her that way it's not going to hurt her, if I'm just giving her a quick fix, I just use baby shampoo on a wash cloth and rince it with a clean wash cloth! |

| My mom is the only one who grooms gus. She holds his head still by holding the beard. I used to think it hurt him because it looks like she pulls it but the lady a petsmart told her that in order for him not to be moving his head that's what you have to do. He don't stay still for me do brush him but with my mom he has no choice. |

| You absolutely can grab the collar. Pull it from the bottom and comb the face. The trachea problem is grossly overstated here.
