My teddy is horrible at groomers so I started positive reinforcement with treats (chicken) he only gets it with grooming. I use the comb on his body and with other hand give him chicken. Then I have a cheap pair of clippers and with longest comb on. We started with me holding clippers in one hand and clippers in other. If he came near me he got chicken. Slowly, we worked our way up to him sitting in my lap me touching clippers on back, him getting chicken. I can now say that yesterday was the first time he would let me comb his whole body and run clippers all over his body except front paws still working on that. We started this process about a month ago. |
