Hi
well i am having trouble getting knotts out
but my baby will be still for me. i put whatever i am going to use on her..brush hair dryer etc in front of her first and let her smell etc etc then i pick it up and start to groom. she will be still as long as she gets to check things out first. i have tested this and not let her see what i am using on her and she gets very wild and won't be still. so maybe this will work for you..worth a try
