When Momo was a puppy, I brushed him when he was tired & sleepy. I made sure to be very gentle so I don't bother him. Line brushing is great, lift up the section of hair you're going to brush. Start brushing downwards in layers smoothing every strand. If I encountered a tangle, I sprayed a conditioner/ detangling spray directly on it & worked it out by pinching the hair closest to the skin. If it was a tight tangle, I snipped it w/a mini blunt nosed scissor to loosen it & brushed it out. If he got wiggly or tried to attack the brush, I stopped, gave him a little break & tried again. He's mostly better behaved the 2nd time around.
Your Small Madan pin brush is on it's way to you...hope you'll get it soon, so you can start using it on Milo! Thank you Shellie & please do not hesitate to ask any questions you might have, I'll be happy to help. |
