We brush Lucas' teeth every couple days. I was worried because of Yorkie's tendency to have poor teeth, so I didn't want that to happen.

How we started was just putting the tooth gel (it's peanut butter flavored so maybe that helped? ) on the brush and putting it down and letting him lick/chew/get used to it. Right away he was chewing right on the bristles, as if he were brushing his teeth by himself!
Then gradually we would wait until he opened his mouth to chew the toothbrush and start moving it around in his mouth for him. As long as you do it gradually, it will be easier. Good Luck
