When you tuck her against you as Yorkiemom described, put your hand under chin to tip her head back. Find the points on her jawline to put your fingers and avoid her neck. With Max, I used his beard to steady his head. It sounds mean, but it is gentle. |
Yep those beards definitely come in handy.
My old man, Bear, is on oral medications twice a day for his various issues. The last time I groomed him, I cut his beard too short and I had a terrible time getting his meds into him...never again!
