They are mostly fine with it until I get to their butt area, then they freak out and start biting me and the comb/brush. I try to be gentle and give them breaks to make it less stressful, but they REALLY don't like it.

I'm not sure if its something I'm doing or if they are just extremely sensitive back there. I comb them daily, so its not like they aren't used to the routine. Lacie is forming mats back there and I have resorted to cutting them out with scissors. Any pointers? Anyone else have an issue with this??
