i love the little bows in their hair but couldnt get my to like them too good. ?Just wondering though, do you think it pulls and hurts their heads and get sore? |

Joey's breeder gave me a bone shaped pillow that she said to use for grooming and never for play. He places his head on the pillow as soon as I start brushing his forehead with a soft baby brush. He's learned to be very patient with me. I'm all thumbs and it occasionally takes me some time, but he doesn't seem to mind waiting. |
Good advice given already. :thumbup: I agree with Nancy, don't put a band on too tightly to start! Bow training begins with a simple band, then a lightweight tiny bow (nothing with a fancy, heavy center), and then (if you wish) you can graduate to something larger like a 5/8" bow. Give your little guy time to adjust to each gradual step. As others have suggested, clips are a good idea. So are scrunchies - easy on the hair and easy to pop in. Naturally, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that I have a huge selection of boy bows, scrunchies, clips/barrettes, etc. ;) Anyway, good luck with the bow training! If you have any questions, feel free to ask - I'm happy to help when I can. :) |
Well just tonight i tried out a new brush. As I said before my boy doesntlike to be brushed. Rarely, u can get some strokes in if he's sleepy and u catch him in a certain mood. I thought he didny like my cheapo brush and that maybe it was comfortable and bought one today w the small then brisles like the groomer uses, I got it out and let him (yorkie)and the lhasa girl i have sniff the brusf abd check it out. But he'd just get wild eyed and jump away when it came near him. Funny, but not sure how to get him to let me get him brushed good, espeacially the tender areas like the legs and belly. So he gets tangly and we have to get him buzzed at the groomers. I love the dogs in the long coats, they are georgeous, but Im content w the shorter or med coat. I just wish i could get him to like the brush. Im considering saving up and getting a groomer table. Do more stuff at home and thought it'd be easier to get him up there where he cant fight as much. |
1 Attachment(s) I use clear grooming bands for both my boy and girl's hair. I think they both look great with their hair up. |
how about the schnooky look or whatever her name is, my friend did it on his Chinese crested and it was adorable |
3 Attachment(s) I keep my girl Rio in a full coat & top knot, but I have my boy Bullet in a Westie cut. Round face, short on back, full skirt. One full coat is enough work for me! |
