attacks her hair brush!!!!

Chrisann-thank you for your e-mail. I am going to try your method today. I have just recently gotten enough backbone to have her sleep in the laundry room at night after she peed and pooped in my bed several times. LOL

These babies are so adorable, it is hard to be strict with them.

Pixie used to bite the brush too. I would let her bite it and then reassure her that it is ok. I would keep brushing they;ll accept it sooner or later. Pixie is find now I can brush her anytime.

Ella has this same problem. So i decided to give her a bully stick while i brush. Works wonders on her. =]

i have never done this but,I was told if they bite at the brush you pull there hair under there chin and give them a firm NO they will stop.

Like i said I have never done this be/c my yorkie loves to be brushed.

Try letting her play with it to get familiar. My Nigel did it too yesterday but he was playing with it and running with it in his mouth like it was a toy. That might help.

The only way I can give my girls a good brushing is to let them look out the window during brushing. I know it sounds wierd but it works for us.

Roxy used to be this way when she was that age. I'd let her kinda chew at it a minute then continue to brush. Just kept at it & eventually she has accepted that brushing is just part of life. Be patient & persistant. Be sure your brush is not a real abrasive one like a slicker bush that can be harsh against tender skin. I got a CC brush w/wooden pins & we both love it. Feels good. Good luck!

Thanks Guys for all wonderful advice. The more I brush her, she seems to settle down a little. And yes, I did let her play with the brush. It all helped.
