I feel for you, I know what that's like. Cheerios came in very handy, they are a small treat that's mostly air, so you can give them quite a few (one at a time) without doing any damage to them nutritionally. My goal for Joey was so that he would tolerate grooming, not so that he would be a well groomed puppy. I groomed him every day, in fact several times a day, and the sessions were short and I didn't get much accomplished, but eventually he learned to tolerate it, and sometimes I really think he enjoys it. I have a soft brush I use on his forehead, and he lies his head down and is patient while I put in his topknot. So my advice is to go slow and reward, and pray for patience! |
