You are going to think that I finally flipped but it worked, so call me nuts. I had a terrible time with Bengie my oldest yorkie, when I reached for the brush he went under the bed adn stayed for hours. I went and bought some almond aromatherapy oil. I get Benni in my lap (no brush in his sight) and slowly rub some of this oil behind his ears and then stroke him until he falls about half asleep, then I slowly bring his brush in. By this time, he is so relaxed he does not even know I am brushing him. It may sound nuts, but it does work. |
