I brush her in the same place every day - on a folded beach towel on a worktable in our home. No one else except a groomer has ever brushed her and I trust my groomer completely - I take her every 6 weeks.
She yelps like I am killing her. Please help !!  |
It sounds like you do everything right and careful with her hair.
Just curious, have you ever watched your groomer when she brushes her? Does she yelp then? Maybe you can get an idea of why she is yelping with you if you can see how your groomer is brushing her and she doesn't yelp.
Otherwise, I wonder if you have ever tried brushing her while she is in your lap? Mine LOVE being brushed while laying on my lap. Not always the best way to get it done, but if they love it, why not?
