 Grooming
As some of you know, I adopted a puppy mill rescue two weeks ago. Toby has made leaps and bounds in adjusting to his forever home and he now jumps up in my lap (sometimes) when I want him laying beside me in the recliner. I am trying to get the hair around his face combed but he will have NO part of it! But if I "comb" his body he doesn't seem to mind it. His hair gets stiff on his face (I assume from eating and drinking) and it drives me nuts because he has "bed head" and I want it nice and pretty. How do I train him to let me comb his hair on his cheeks? And I gave him a bath Sunday but it was a fast one and I was soaked! We have a laundry sink and he kept his front paws up on it but never tried to jump out. Needless to say it was a quick bath. And what is a reasonably priced shampoo/conditioner to use? He appears to have a beautiful coat (he's cut really short right now) and his top hat is unbelievably soft. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks! |
