Deanna,

Motley gets groomed at his vet.

He goes in every six to eight weeks.

As for brushing Pascal, try to encourage him to stay, but be firm 
if he
isn't listening.

Good luck,

Chantel and Motley

Hi all,

Do any of you have dogs that do not like to be brushed/groomed?

My dog, Pascal has always disliked being brushed.  Every time I 
get my
grooming kit out, he runs and tries to hide.

He will tolerate being brushed, but gives me dirty looks and acts 
like I am
torturing him.  I don't think it hurts him, as I use a softer 
than normal
slicker brush, and occasionally a Furminator.  I also don't use a 
strong
pressure when I run the brush through.  He doesn't act like it 
hurts, or
wince in pain (which is always good, LOL)  As soon as I am done 
he turns
back into his normal happy self.  I give him praise when he 
behaves well, and
if he is really good, he gets a kibble afterwards as a treat.

Any thoughts or suggestions on making grooming more enjoyable for 
him?

I also have a question about bathing and professional grooming.

Do you all bathe your dogs at home? If so, how often?

Do you take your dog to get professionally groomed? How often?

Thank you!

Deanna and Pascal
