[NAGDU] Dog Brushes

[Becky Frankeberger]

Ouch, the ferminater for some dogs tender skin is like hitting them it hurts
that much. I don't know what kind of breed or coat she has, but you got some
great gentle suggestions. Put the furminator away for a good long time until
she trusts you again not to hurt her. Yes I know you would absolutely never
on purpose hurt her, warm hugs. You have some retraining to do.

Use treats to build trust, again.

Warmly,
Becky

Hi all,

My dog is lovely, but he's kind of a baby about a few things.  He doesn't
like to be brushed.  I've delayed asking about this for a while and just
tried to be as gentle as possible with the furminator.
No deal...  He still doesn't like it, and so neither of us enjoys grooming
time.  Is there a softer brush I can use with him?  Or is this just a lost
situation?  It's possible he won't like being brushed no matter what, but I
thought I would reach out just in case someone else has dealt with this.
Thanks.
