| Jack now finds it fun to take the brush off me ! Hi Guys, For the past few weeks when I brush him he thinks i'm playing with him and constantly takes the brushes/combs off me and plays with them and is coming to the point I can no-longer brush him. I can get to brush him when he has had an afternoon nap Any tips please ? |

| How old is he? I have had Minnie for 6 months and she has got used to grooming and bathing. She now tolerates it. Usually the last few minutes she starts to play. She gets baths weekly. It just depends on how dirty she gets. I would say work with him more. |

| Do you brush him on the floor? I used to do that and my boys thought I was playing. I now elevate them on my kitchen island and they both know that when they are sitting there (on a towel) that I mean business. Maybe try to elevate Jack and see if that helps.

| Please let us know how it works out. I have a feeling it's really going to help. My boys know that when I move the towel onto the kitchen counter that it's time for grooming. They love it!
