I am not an expert but you could try having a trimmer running near to you when you are playing and training and giving treats, don't touch her with it just let her get used to the sound while you are playing. Make sure when she is snuggling that you touch her all over, feet, ears, face, belly and bum, get others who are in your family or friends to do the same so that she gets comfortable with touching all over. Then you can start to use the clippers but go slow. In the meantime a good shampoo up in that area can be very effective, I recently had to get my grandsons puppy in the sink to clean off dried poop so that she could get fresh poop out. Not the most pleasant job but it didn't take long and poor baby pooped before I got her out of the sink she was so relieved. Also my Alfie's pee pointer hairs get very gloopy because he has to wear a medical cone and can't clean himself. The necessary but least sweet of being the best mom to your little sweetheart. |
