my dog is actually a pig I swear, if Huey was a human child, he would be one of those that goes to camp and doesn't change his underwear for a month! :eek: He is so resistant to any form of hygene or grooming! He won't go into the grooming room unless he is between me and the door so he can run out if I try to grab him. Once caught, he does submit, snarlingly, to brushing, as long as I have him attached to the grooming table. The petrodex dental spray turns him into Cujo. I can't clip his nails and have to take him to a professional groomer for that. The only thing he does grooming wise that is helpful is to brush his own teeth. I can't be the only yorkie mom that has a terribly untrained, grooming resistant dog! He would wallow in his own filth and be just happy...:( |
:lol tears You make me laugh with stories of Huey! He reminds me of Dennis the Menace movies. It's a good thing he's so darn cute, isn't it? lol |

I know exactly what you mean! My boys aren't so bad about the brushing or bathing, but even sweet, loving Connor will turn into a snarling enraged snapping BEAST if I even attempt to go at him with nail clippers or Pedipaws. Neo is almost as bad-NO WAY will either one let me clip their nails, so off to the vet once a month for the nails and butt-squeeze.:eek: |
Cinders is horrible when I try to comb or brush her. I even tried changing combs on her, she still snarls like Cujo at it/ me. The only part she likes about grooming is her bath, thank god, and her face cleaning daily. The next time I try to brush her, I'm going to video it. It's hilarious and frustrating at the same time. |
I can add to that! Dexter HATES when things are clean. If I put his toys into the toy box, he will go straight there and take each toy out and just throw it all over the floor! I can't keep the living room clean for more than 10 minutes :-/ |

All I can hear and see in my head is the Peanuts theme song and Huey walking around with a visible dust cloud just like Pigpen. ;) |
Have you tried giving him treats while brushing him? For Magnus, when I'm brushing his face (which he absolutely loathes) I hold a small piece of jerky for him to nibble at while I'm brushing. If he moves his head away, he won't get the treat so he "puts up" with it. As for the spray... Again, both Magnus/Zoey HATES it. So instead of using the spray, I use a syringe. Hold their head and poke it in at the side of their mouth. Once that's just, I just rub their mouths a little to get the brushing effect. I find that bully sticks really do help their teeth clean. |
I brush Pixie twice a day and when she was a puppy she was crazy when would grab the brush biting at it growling. It was a nightmare:( Now she doesn't mind and I do give her a cheerio when I am done. As for the teeth thing Pixie is terrible she acts AWFUL it is the part of grooming I hate!! lol |

Would it be wrong to buy a butterfly net to catch him with on grooming day? ;) |
