My baby fought me on the toothbrushing also. This is what worked for my yorkie....I gave him one of my old toothbrushes and he went crazy for it. He thinks it is a special chew toy. So for the first few nights before bedtime, I would give him the toothbrush....then slowly I started putting a teeny bit of PetzLife on the toothbrush and he would cautiously like at it and then eventually begin chewing away. Gradually I worked up to the correct amount of paste on the brush. He chews on it, holding it with his paws like a little otter and chews on both sides....he will chew and chew until I take it away. Every night he brushes his own teeth, better then he would ever allow me to do. I only let him have it while I watch him. It worked for me. You should give it a try....let me know if it works for you pup.
