Molly didn't like to be brushed when I started out with one of the slicker brushes, I guess because it pulled.
I then bought one of the soft bristled brushes and she LOVED it. She will come running for it. Once I got her to loving that, I use it for a while then finish up with the slicker brush.
For some grooming I will put a towel down on my washer and groom her up there. She's nervous enough about falling that she will stay on the towel, away from the edge. I don't ever leave her there though. I'm sure she would try to jump.
That's my only helpful hints...I've got to work on the toothbrushing thing myself! |
