Teddy hated being brushed and used to bite the comb. I reserved some treats which were only brought out for him when I brushed him and he did really well after awhile and is now a complete joy to brush.
He hates his harness and leash and I think he may have fear of them but I think he has an anxiety disorder anyway so I can't help there, I'm afraid. I have tried to condition him so that he associates the harness with treats but I think he's afraid of going outside, too. He is a work in progress!
I have tried putting the harness on him to wear around the house so he doesn't associate wearing the harness with anything unpleasant but that doesn't stop him from hating the leash despite trying the same tactic with it!
All I can offer by way of advice is to try to condition your dog to associate things it hates with treats be it food or toy rewards and consistent praise. |
