| what a baby I am wondering if anyone else has a pouting baby when it comes to using certain products on their yorkies coat. Wallee has the misfortune of being blessed with a terrible curly cotton coat. Since it has been such a cold winter here this year I have let his coat grow back in for warmth. I brush him daily (although it never looks any different) and since the house tends to be dryer making his coat get a little staticky. Since his coat is a little flyaway I have been warming a tiny bit of coconut oil in my hands and running it over his coat. The problem is, any time I use any kind of oily product on his coat he runs away, puts his tail down then runs and pouts in his bed. It's so weird cause if I use any kind of finishing spray he stays fine. What could be the reason for this weird reaction to oils? I am wondering if it is the feeling of it, the smell, or just him being a big baby? |

| I don't know what his issue is. We are having static problems, too. I try to keep ultrasonic humidifiers running in a couple of rooms but we still have some dry air. I have to use a conditioning spray on Gracie whenever I comb and brush her because her coat is usually long and dry grooming can break the coat. Since you brush him you could try spraying your oil on the brush before you use it. I would guess that he doesn't like the smell of it. Their noses are so much more sensitive than ours. Try giving him a treat as soon as your done grooming. Maybe it will distract him from his pouting. |
