| Brushing I want to start brushing Bella at an early age, to make it easier when she is older and her hair is long. I bought her a very soft brush....but she still goes NUTS when I try to brush her!!! I am very gentle with her, and pet her and love on her....but as soon as I pull out the brush, she turns into ATTACK DOG, lol. Any suggestions would be appreciated. |

| Happens to me too. She bites at it and sneezes the whole time I am doing it - no matter how nice and loving I am. It's just necessary, and I make sure I give her a very nice treat after so she will forgive me |

| I started with a brush but after Harley hated it I went to a comb, and all three of my babies are OK with it. Don't get me wrong, they don't come running when I get the comb out, but at least I can groom all of them in about 20 minutes. Just try a comb...maybe it will work for you too.

| I have found that anything she doesn't like or resists, I can do much easier at the end of the day after she is exhausted. She is much more amenable to brushing, having her ears checked, etc. |

| They do make doggy combs. They are silver and kinda long. Also, Turbo hated being groomed too. I think part of it is to see what they can get away with, just like kids! haha. I also would pick his front paws up in one hand and brush him out with the other. For his chest/neck area I will lightly hold his beard hair to keep him from wheeling around. For the back legs/butt area, hold just in front of his hips. He is great about it now and actually likes being brushed! I think he likes looking good. Egotistical! haha. |
