| I am really interested in the arm or sling thing someone mentioned. What is it? How do you make it? Hello there, I guess U could say I made mine too in a way...See Teddy has hair that is so thick and he won't sit still like Tiffanie for me to trim or cut it so I took one of my "SMALL" (Short to the ground) shepard hooks (If U can't find one that is short to the ground...Maybe someone U know can cut a tall one off??) and (tie a knot in up by where U're hand goes) on his leash to where it will just allow him to move a little but yet let me tend to him, put his leash through his harness and do his face and ears, butt and paws if need be if he's being really stubbern (I loosen the leash for this tho lol) ...He sits still now for me...And to do his body I put him in his collar and he sits still now for me too...I just did his ears, bottom and around his paws and he never fought me one time!! He is now a year and 1/2 but he can put up a big fight anytime he wants. I do ALL my trimming/cutting outside under a shade tree, have a bowl of water and teats for them...It works great! I trim them like in November for Winter, Teddy's coat is short and Tiffanie's is growing out, then do the trims on warmer Winter days until Spring...As far as baths he hates them...Fights me on them too! Not Tiffanie, she loves them. I bought one of those shower head with a hose and I can now do him easy...Oh he gets upset once in a while still but not like he did...That was my mother's idea!! Great one! As far as puppie well we're in the process of training them to be groomed daily...They fight some but not to bad...Hopefully they will grow up to be like their mommy and love it! As far as brushing daily they let me, but did fight when they was puppies, I just kept it up they finally grow to know it has to be done! Hope this helps!
