I think you might wanna try something that a groomer friend of mine did
Take a comb and put some dog food on it
Let the dog lick the food off
and at the same time just place it close to his face
don't try to brush him yet
keep doing this again and again to get him used to the comb being close to his face and not be afraid of it and see where this gets you |
Thanks Joey! I'll give that a try...................he is getting a tiny bit better but am only able to comb through maybe once or twice. I am also rubbing his chin with my hand and at the same time rubbing his cheeks with my fingers and he has let me do that a few times. I'm sure it is just going to take time. And we have lots of that!
