Do any of you know how to make this easier and enjoyable for her? Any certain brush you use or anything???
Right now I use one of those "slicker" brushes. |
You should not really be using a slicker brush on a yorkie. Those should be used for shedding breeds and cats. I use a double sided brush. My Couver doesnt really enjoy being brushed either, but this brush is a lot less painful than the slicker because it does not scratch him.
I also try to use praise and an occasional treat to make it more enjoyable.
