I let them smell the brush before I touched them. Then I brushed them a bit, let them smell the brush, brushed them some more. I kept talking to them in a cool, calm and happy voice as I was doing this. Through all this if they tried to bite the brush I'd give them a firm NO BITE command (closing their mouths and saying not bite in a low loud voice) and tried again. When they were good I'd praise them like crazy. I probably brushed them too much but it is idea to get them conditioned to it. If you do it often enough they will get use to it.
He will have to be broken in slowly with the tips above. Don't give up! If need be brush him when he's dead sleeping until you can break him into when he is awake. It will take time and patience but soon he will get use to it. |
Thanks i will definetly try it! |
