| Start with a lot of time and patience, perserverance, persistance and praise. Remember, you are training Taylah to be groomed. Training is a continuing process that improves with each "lesson". Before you can brush her face, you must first be able to handle her face, so that would be a great place to start. Practice "brushing" her face by stroking her very gently with one finger. When she is comfortable with that, then go from there, taking tiny baby steps along the way. The more you "practice" the better she will get. Good luck. |

You can also occupy her with treats or a bully stick. Whenever you are watching TV or just holding her give her a massage and teach her to relax. Practice looking at her teeth and in her ears and massaging her face and her paws. She will get to where she likes it if you are gentle and soothing and it is part of "your time together". Good luck. | |
