He is impossible. I asked the groomer if we should use a detangling spray of some kind and she said no its not necesary....well at this point I think it is. I am at a total loss here. When I can get the brush in his hair a little its so knotted I cant get it through. So should I try a detangling spray? What do I do??  And how can I keep him calm to be able to brush him....I've tried different times of the day....and right after baths but still cant get him to hold still. |
well with teddy the first time I tried to bush him he fought me and I told him no and kept him from running and smacked his nose and told him bad dog.. and he stopped fighting and now he LOVES being brushed he sees me with the brush and runs over and lays so still for meI will also rub his belly at times to calm him down and to make him extra relaxed.
just start slow and try to coax him and maybe rub his belly or scratch a place that makes him turn to goo. if he does good tell him good boy during and give hima treat after wards.
