But he'd just get wild eyed and jump away when it came near him. Funny, but not sure how to get him to let me get him brushed good, espeacially the tender areas like the legs and belly. So he gets tangly and we have to get him buzzed at the groomers. I love the dogs in the long coats, they are georgeous, but Im content w the shorter or med coat. I just wish i could get him to like the brush. Im considering saving up and getting a groomer table. Do more stuff at home and thought it'd be easier to get him up there where he cant fight as much. |
I really like the CC wooden pin brush, it's tips are not going to hurt them, like pin brushes especially on tender areas, and they sell a small one that's perfect for the yorkie.

They always included his a treat like cheerios during and after. Cheerios are a great treat for this because most dogs love them, and they are mostly air, so they aren't getting that many calories.
