I just started brushing Tensley's teeth. At first I put some paste on my finger tip and let him lick it. Then I put some on the finger brush and let him lick that. I then stuck the finger brush in his mouth and moved it around so he'd get the feel of it. Then I started brushing his teeth. He wasn't crazy about it but he tolerated me doing it. When I really tried to concentrate on tooth cleaning he got irritated and squirmy. I then switch to a regular dog toothbrush which he really liked alot better. We're taking it slow since he is a persnickety kind of dog.
