I thought about that. But after talking to my friend Jordan who trained obedience she said that he mostlikely knows he can get away with it with me.

He was bathed bi-weekly at the breeders, like clock-work to get him used to those things, and blow dried after he was a little older. The first bath I did with my friend Jordan, but she didn't help, she told me what to do and supervised me to tell me if I did things wrong, we didn't blow dry, because he wasn't going outside. His second bath with me, the breeder came over and helped me give him a full grooming. Shavers, nails, bath (shampoo, conditioner) and a final coat protect and shine spray, groomed him, and all along he was fine. She blowdried him herself with him in one hand and the blow drier in the other.

So I thought about me doing something wrong, I even always tripple check the blowdrier setting to make sure they are on warm, not hot, and not too cold, and on low.

I started again from scratch with the brushing... the last two nights, I sat on the floor, made him "down" or "sit" and held a treat about 6 inches in front of him... I told him to stay while I took the comb and brushed around his back. After about 10-15 seconds of stillness, if he didn't move, I gave the treat. By the end of each session I've gotten to his forehead, but still can't really get his whiskers with out him forgetting the treat and biting the comb. Does this sound like a good approach? I figure this should eliminate the biting the comb issue.
