 Every other Day?
Gee, Every other Day? I wish I could get away with that. All 3 of my Yorkies
have long Hair. I brush them at least twice a day, sometimes 3 times.
The first time in the morning while I'm watching TV. on the Couch w/them,
I also pet/massage them. Right before we leave I put them on their Grooming Table and wash out their eyes w/a wet wash cloth and then I brush their Teeth, braid Artie and Pom Pom's Tails and put up Artie's Topknot. The 2nd time is right before Bedtime while we're laying in Bed. My point is I do it @ in the same Routine every day and I do it in a very relaxed way, maybe your Baby is picking up on your Anxiety about brushing? Just remember every form of resistance is a Test to see just how much you will let him get away with?
Yorkies will test/challenge you all the time! They pick up on your Energy and read you like a Book. When I had a Litter of 3 puppies 2 yrs. ago, I made sure
that I brushed/groomed them so by the time they went into their new Homes
they were already Crate Trained and House broken and used to a full Grooming routine. Keep working with him, he will eventually get used to it and accept it. You have to Train him. |
