Teddy hated hated hated grooming. I had him clipped short and started over. We began slowly. A few strokes of the brush/comb and then a piece of boiled chicken. We spent this way for a month slowly increasing the number of strokes and rubbing all over his body. Finally a few months later he tolerates being groomed. I probably spend about thirty minutes a day grooming him. He still does not like groomer (groom to fast and pull his fur) but I can clip and trim him slowly a little at a time.
The key is to take it slow, move at their pace, reward, and be patient. |
