Yes, I'm pretty sure it's to get me to come into him, either because he is lonely, or maybe went potty on the PP and wants a treat, or is hungry or something. I'm not sure what it is he exactly wants, but I know he wants my presence. So what i am doing is ignoring his howling and screaming, and then every so often, when it is quiet and go in and tell him what a good boy he is and give him a treat. I'm trying this for a while, and we'll see if it works.
In the meantime, our grooming sessions are pretty challenging. I've begun grooming him and have found major tangles and knots by his hips and shoulder and legs. He squiggles all over the place and won't let me attempt to brush him out or even cut through his tangles with a scissor and then brush him out.
This its kinda tough. I don't want him to be afraid of bath time because combing through the tangles are painful, but he does have to be groomed. I want grooming time to be pleasant and fun, but I suck at grooming and especially getting out knots with out hurting.
Any suggestions
