Columbo hates it, but he stopped fighting so much over time since he knows its happening whether he likes it or not. I make him lay in his bed when I brush his teeth. I tried my lap and the bathroom counter, but it was too difficult and I thought he would fall and/or get away. Laying down in the bed, he is comfortable and less squirmy. I just pull out the lip on the side of the mouth I'm working and stick the brush in. When I've done the outside of the teeth, I force my finger in his mouth to open his clenched teeth, and brush the inside. On a side note, my golden retriever, who has now passed, used to lay on his back on the couch. I'd sit on the end seat of the couch with his head in my lap. Not only did I brush him, but I would scrape any plaque off his teeth!!! He never had to have his teeth professionally cleaned. Don't you and I wish a yorkie would do that!
