i took bella to the vet and the vet told me she needed to start brushing her teeth. now i know yorkies need special attention on their teeth but i just havn't gotten around to it. i know i have no excuse but when the vet showed me her teeth i got a little worried. he showed me how easy it was to clean them. so i went to petco and bought everything i needed i was so excited to start brushing her teeth!!! much to my surprise bella was not on the same page as me.??? i put some toothpaste on my finger so she could taste the paste and she liked it so far so good, then i put some on the toothbrush and gave it to her she ate a little more, but as soon as i tried to open her mouth like the vet did she got nervous and upset and would not let me brush her teeth. she kept wiggling and moving her head. i got really frustrated with her. how come it was so easy for the vet and not me so i figured the previous owner had never brushed her teeth. now i have all these supplies but can't do anything with them i feel like such a failure. i know i shouldn't give up so easily but i have tried so many times but nothing.i know i can just take her to the groomers and they can do it but i want to learn for myself. please can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong????
