Grooming problems...I had 'em with both of my babies. I tried talking sweet, letting them bite my fingers and giving them toys. In the end, the thing that worked for me was just brushing quickly with a very quick pet following each stroke, holding them firmly and speaking to them only after all is done. Directly after their grooming, I have a little praise and 2 minute playtime. Now when they see the brush, they just lay in my lap and get ready. Monkey even puts his head up and closes his eyes. I think he actually likes it! Remember, gooming is sometimes the best bonding. A dog is comforted when they feel like you know what you're doing...even if it means being the big mean boss
Good luck!
