What kind of brush, comb, treats have ya all had success with? All of your advice helps me so so much!! She is doing really good with potty training and she isn't "all bad girl"!! She just seems to hate to be "confined or touched" .... she is almost like having a CAT!!lol She isn't much of a cuddler unless she is ready to sleep and then I can cuddle with her some and she does sleep in bed with us at night!! I have bought all kinds of combs and brushes but she HATES it all and she doesn't care if I give her treats or not. Cheese works sometimes but not much of it because she gets tired of it real fast. She is a good eater though with her kibble and I give her a little bit of canned puppy food first thing in the morning and she free feeds all day long w/dry and eats real well. She gets spayed on Wed. and she is supposed to spend the night....they have someone there 24/7 but I am still afraid to leave her...I might see if she can come home that evening if she is awake and doing good?? THANKS SO MUCH ALL OF YOU!! You have all helped me so much!! I had a teacup poodle for 19 years and don't remember ever dealing with all this with her?? Must be the "terrier" coming out!!lol

I give my 2 Honey nut Cheerios and they love them~got that idea from here! Just take it slow with her and she will be a star at the groomers in no time at all. Petsmart & Petco are like the Fantastic Sams for dogs

Now I'm probably going to be in trouble for that little crack

I also like to free feed my two and it seems to be working well for us too. I firmly believe in treats and praise for just about anything~it works fantastic.

I think you will be suprised at how well she does after her spay. When I picked up Pebbles, she was so happy to see me. It made me nervous that she was jumping all over the place when I saw her. She was just happy to see her mommy. Keep us posted how she does, I think that it is more stressful for us mommies than for our little ones.

She sounds just like Rosie when she was younger. She hated us petting her, but now she loves cuddling. We praised her A LOT when we would pet her. She'll eventually understand that's what you want. Give it time.

As of treats, Yorkie Yummies work great here and meaty treats work well. This is hard because every dog is different. I'm lucky because Rosie does anything for treats

Like Megansmomma said, give it time. It took us 1-2 months of baby steps before Rosie got used to brushing.

I have a 6 month old Girl. She is very high energy too. It is the Terrier in them. Your Girl is not BAD. That was wrong for Peco to say that! They could not handle her, and it was their fault. PLease do not feel bad about their mistakes. I would not ever go back there again. I hope they did not traumatise her. That will only make it difficult for you and anyone else working with her in the future. I agree that using treats is a good reward for her and plenty of praise.
I just bought A set of clippers for Suzi, and i am going to learn how to do it myself. i do not trust anyone to be good to my dog, and I hate to hear anyone's bad experiences at the groomers. I feel like there is no excuse for them to not be able to handle a small dog with loving care and patience.

I have "Yorkie Treats" from here too, I got them when I got her harness. She goes day after tomorrow (Wed) to get spayed and then we are MOVING to another house in the next couple of weeks so I am worried about her being so confused. She is doing real well going on her pee pads and outside both right now too!! I don't know how that works but I am hoping she will be fine? Poor little girl.
