I wish I had good advice for you. We have two that love to have their harness put on, they know it means they are getting to do something! Crosley on the other hand you have to chase her and catch her to put the leash on, she thinks it's a game! When Wrigley was a puppy we started slow with the brushing. We would let her smell it and lay the brush by her and just do a couple of brushes and gradually build up. You could also try giving her something to chew on why you are brushing her to distract her. Also praise her and give her tiny pieces of treats as you are grooming her when she's being good! Best of luck!

| Buster recently got a new harness and hated it. Hated it to the point he would do a low growl and do anything to get away. I started using the treats he loves the best, I had to use a lot of them but he will now let us put the harness on him. I have never held mine down, I don't think I ever will. Not sure I would like to be held down.

| I'm no expert but if you don't get control of the tantrum, it will continue (just like a skin baby). Ally hates to be combed; she has very sensitive skin. She will go hide when I say the word, 'comb.' She doesn't have a tantrum though. She knows I'm the momma (pack leader). On the other hand, my neighbor's yorkie used to have the tantrum and bite my neighbor when did the harness, tried to get something from her, look at her teeth...just about anything the yorkie didn't want her to do. The vet told her the same thing, put her on her back. Well, it worked a little. My neighbor just gives in though. Her baby is apprx 16 months old. She brought her over the other day and the baby picked up a toy. When my neighbor went to pick her up and take the toy away, she couldn't get it away from her. She thought she would bite her...she was growling. The yorkie was in control. She is a sweet little yorkie too. |
