Anybody have any tricks for brushing teeth? My little guy HATES it! So we strugle with him every other night to get his teeth clean. We use chicken flvored tooth paste that he loves the taste of. He cleaverly tries to lick it all off the toothbrush and then go hide somewhere! We started brushing his teeth when he was 8 weeks old and he hated it then and still does. We try to keep this a very positive experience and give lots of praise, but its not making the struggle any easier.

I have heard about teeth cleaning pads for yorkies that come in a jar and are pre-moistened. Maybe that would be easier. Has anybody used these? How are they?
