Hi
Just wondering if anyone has tips for brushing Lovey.
I have been trying to introduce him to the brush over a period of time.
I would run it over him once and if he didn't attack it, would treat him.
We have progressed to where I can crush up some treats on the floor and while he is busily eating, I can brush him.
IF he gets wise and realizes that I am brushing him, he will gradually get more and more irritated to where he bites the brush repeatedly.
But overall, I have been able to do it.
However, doing his belly is another concern..He doesn't like anyone to really touch it excessively anyway and will not let a brush near there.
Anyone have any tips to do this area quickly where he is distracted in some way on his back?
Its mainly his belly and his back that has the longest hair and I don't want it to mat up.
