| Plucking Hair from Ears??? This sounds incredibly painful. How am I supposed to do this and cause the least amount of trauma to my baby boy? My sister has a miniature schnauzer and told me she'd pull it for me. Well, Reggie screamed so much she immediately quit and said her dog doesn't react like that. Help me with this grooming issue please! |

| Use ear powder, it gives you a good grip. For babies I use my fingers and pull small amounts at a time. They will not like it at first, because it feels strange. But after awhile they will get used to it, as long as you do it without trauma.

| I use hemastats to pull hair from the ears. They will give you the grip you need on the hair so that it doesn't hurt the pup as much. Also, remember, not to pull large amounts of hair at one time. Only pull a few strands of hair per pull and use swift movements when extracting. None of my dogs ever have a problem with me pulling hair from their ears.

| I just use a pair of tweezers. The first time it bugged her a little bit, but now she doesn't even bat an eye... |
