Not real sure...i am trying to do my two as well. Oliver has been being groomed since he was a pup so he is used to it and is pretty good for me, Brooklyn however, she is just 6 mos. and not real used to it yet. She hates it all! I am hoping that someone will give you advice that i can try as well. I have been doing treats and breaks, but she hates when you get near her head...
