Brushing your yorkie Hello! We had the same problem when our yorkie was younger! What we did was get her used to the brush so she knew it was not something that was meant to hurt her. First I let her smell it, then I started slowly brushing her legs, gradually working up to the face area. If you have a tangle, hold the hair just below the tangle in your fingers, then work the tangle with the brush so that your dog is not feeling the "pull".
Also, I try to praise her during brush time & give her a small treat afterwards.
Hope this helps! Good Luck! |
