Hi all, I have just recently started grooming my 11 week old pup after his baths with a puppy slicker brush and it's not going very well...he will not sit still and either tries to bite me or the brush. Any advice or tips on getting him used to being brushed?? He is a husky, so he's going to have to get used to being brushed daily! Lol

Just keep doing it and do it often. Elara HATED me trimming her nails. She would scream and bite and you'd think I was trying to kill her! But after doing it weekly she eventually decided I wasn't trying to kill her and she'll lay still now. Puppies are going to fuss, so it just takes time and treats.

I used to do it when he was sleepy or sleeping, kinda like mimicking a mother grooming him, very gentle and calmly.

Example (Kale was almost 6 weeks in this, so he was a little younger than your pup)



Another thing that helped was to brush in sections. One day brush one side, the next, the other. Then the legs and paws, the next the neck and so on. Oh and have lots of treats on hand

Brooke I just cant get over how adorable Kale is in your signature picture.
