I have my best friends Yorkie and she was matted to the skin just horribly. She will fight with everything she has against being brushed or combed. The groomer that my friend took her to knows how to handle her and was able to get all the mats out. Amazing woman if you ask me...LOL...this dog is a tough one...at 2 lbs 14 ozs.

When I had my Rob my husband would say its world war three when I combed him, but when he went to the groomer he was an angel she did not belive me when I said he was a little horror.

She actually was good, I just worked on her for 30 min. at the time.
Left the detangler comb on the coffee table and she tried to steel it, bet she never wants to see it again.
Got to go shopping, hints from YT, Perfect Coat and Star's Buddy Splash.
Just don't understand, she is 2 and this has never happened before but will be ready next time, if there is one she will get a puppy cut.

The groomer for this dog says she is terribel to work with. She just doesn't let the dog win...lol. I tried again yesterday and she was biting and carrying on like a nutcase. She does love to be loved on though, so you just take the good with the bad. She loves my husband alot, so he has been using the back of the comb on her just to get her more use to it. Don't know if it's working yet or not, time will tell.

I shaved my boys this weekend! had enough! My Dexter has a cotton coat that gets matted to the skin on a daily basis. I have easily spent an hour a day for weeks on end trying to keep him dematted, it just didnt work. I gave up and shaved him. He is happy, Im happy and there are no matts! What a chore though. He HATES being brushed and wiggles, bites the brush/comb, fights me every step of the way!
