I just keep dribbling the water over the area, from my fingers until she is rinsed.
Also, I dont apply shampoo there directly. Instead, I take a bit from that lathered into her chin and apply it in that area with a little massage so to clean the area and then rinse as I have described.
I have had groomers tell me how to wash the head area of my Yorkie and hae watched videos.
When I bath my girl, I focus more on her reactions and try to empathize to find what works best for her.
She looks forward to bath time. The more I am empathetic, the better she is.

Hope this helps.
