If they move constantly, you probably have to hold their muzzle firm and let them know your being serious and try to do it and eventually you can do without it but I never had to resort to doing that to my Yorkie so not sure how reliable it is. I have had a groomer telling me to firmly hold the hair their chin but I don't like to use a way that will cause them pain. |
yea, i use a damp paper towel as well. my puppy's face is so small. he also has a short nose so it's hard to hold it shut. i guess i'll just have to keep doing it and rewarding him until he gets used to it. thanks for the advice!
