You can also try some calming remedies and candles made for dogs. Products like "Rescue Remedy" don't work on Ruger, but many people here swear by it. |
Great tips! Joey's breeder said to get Joey use to being brushed, it didn’t matter if I was doing a great job, but it was important to have him learn to lie still. Every day you should do a little brushing. I'd give him a plain cheerio after he was brushed a few times, and now he's great and very patient with me! He’ll even lie on his back and let you trim his tummy.
