With summer coming i don't mind cutting off her hair but it gets cold here in the winter and id feel better if she had her hair to keep her warm. Shes fine with bath time and getting her nails done its just the brushing, im currently forcing her to go through with it in hopes she learns to like it but it makes me feel bad. Any ideas on how to make this experience more enjoyable for her? Any advice is very much appreciated, ill try anything im desperate lol . Thanks  |
sorry you are having trouble in this area.
What kind of brush do you use?
If it pulling on her hair when you are brushing her , it could be hurting her.
I use a wooden pin brush , no snagging or pulling at all.
You may have to start from the beginning to get her used to the brushing part.
Have a few treats handy and just let her see the brush lay the back of the brush on her side then give her a treat just keep practicing this . If she feels comfortable with this try brushing a leg very gently then give her a treat.
Just keep working with her till she feels comfortable
