We even do treats with grooming. Gracie is good about being combed and brushed but she is not fond of the topknot thing. Once I started giving her a treat right after I got her topknot in she began being so much better.
They sell containers of small freeze dried meat treats that you could keep near where your bells are. They don't have to be refrigerated so they can be wherever you do the training. |
She is almost 6 months old. I even put it on the floor so she can smell it and when she hits it, it scares her and she takes off running. She is even afraid of our yellow lab when he moves. I got her at 12 weeks old.
