Girlie no yorkie likes to have their face combed or for that matter face washed or combed.. you need to do this every day... consitency is the key.. they absolutely hate it.. but getting frustrated is not going to help you get the gunk out of her eyes...
I also have a tiny face comb. so the larger combs see to scare them more.. like others have said do it.. talk gently.. if you do not get it right at first.. praise anyway once you have been trying.. let them think you won and they were good.. just keep doing it.. get this trust happening that you are not hurting...
I have a baby of my own right now born dec 11th.. she lays on her back and I comb her face and clip her toenails.. again I taught her this and to trust me...
Please do not get me wrong.. my dogs can run me as easily as anyones.. just trying to say how I do it.. anne |
