It showed him I was in control and did not hurt him. After struggling with that for a week, he finally got the idea. It is now a month later and I only do it on the rare occasion. The groomer said it is a night and day difference.
Well, I'm glad you didn't stick your finger down his throat! I can hardly believe there are people who would do such a thing!
