Each time I use the shears I show them to Mina,let her sniff,let her see me put it up against me,turn it on and put the back of it against my face. If Im willing to let it touch me,she is willing to let it touch her. Sounds a bit weird but it works. She gets to smell the brush,comb and nail clippers as well.
I always talk softly and move slowly.
Im letting her side facial hair grow some and he topknot. I trim her beard a little at a time until I get it like I want it.
Ive been known to use the scissors to shape her feet and inbetween pads while watching tv at night so Im not trying to groom everywere all at once. |
