Bad teeth can take 3 to 5 years off of a dogs life!
Tackle the job!!!!
They hate having their nails clipped don't they??? but we don't let them grow and curl under their feet do we???
Fighting with them now is so much better than putting them under for a dentel later!!!!! And the fighting is only a first impression reaction! What if someone walked up to you and started spraying sh*t in your mouth?? you'd flip out too! What if it was good for you?? But they could not communicate that to you?? What if they kept on doing it... don't you think you'd notice that it didn't kill you and that eventually you'd stop fighting, cause they were going to do it if you fought or not.... and it was easier if you did not fight it???
Thats how trimming their nails goes, clipping the hair on their butts, abd c'mom tell me what some of our dogs were thinking the first time someone squeezed their anal gland

OK!
Keep on it!!!! It very well could earn you 3 to 5 years longer with your dog!!!!! So what if you have to fight a bit right now... arent those years worth fighting for?????
