Since he is shaved and all the mats are gone I'm hoping I'll be able to keep him mat free by brushing him daily. I really wish he would get use to it and enjoy it so I wouldn't have to fight him. I feel like I am being so mean having to hold him down. |
have you tried putting him up on a table while you groom him and double teaming him with your husband? have your husband hold him on the table and distract him with treats while you brush him. i'd start doing it now while his hair is short and mat free so he won't be bothered with the tugging. just run a comb all over him a few times while he's getting cookies. this might do the trick.
