I've tried treats, doing it when he's sleeping, I've even tried to just hold him down and get it over with. Thoughts? |
Puppy hair is a nightmare to groom! They move, it tangles...I used to use bully sticks to distract Momo. He has soft cottony tangles easily hair that I managed to grow floor length. When I encountered a tangle, I just snip it off w/blunt nosed scissors, I didn't risk trying to work it out. He has so much hair anyway, can't tell any part of it was cit off. Now he's in a puppy cut all year round, for my sanity loll.

There are those grooming sprays that assist in preventing some snarls......???????? |
Sprays are great for working out tangles! I spray directly on a mat & loosen it w/my fingers & comb out. It's a great in-between refresher between baths to get rid of the outdoor smell too.
