Mayhem is only 3 months old and I am trying my best to get him adjusted to the daily wrinkle and nose rope wipe down........not going so well, as he turns into a giant snapping turtle, trying to grab the cloth. Any suggestions on how to calm him, so this isn't such a chore?

The only way we got Buster to stop biting was to use treats. Break up carrots or cookies into little small bits and make it a fun time for him, when he is good and you clean his face then give him one. It worked for us.

Maybe try cleaning him while he's napping? Or have his favorite chew toy in one hand and clean using the other. I still have this problem (not biting but running away or moving heads all over), with my boys and they're over 2yo now. Calmly talking to them helps a little but many times I'm just chasing them around with a washcloth in my hand! btw, Mayhem is so adorable!

Lily used to do it , when she didn't try and grab the cloth i would use a soft voice saying how good she is ,eventually she grew out of it
She is not fussed on cleaning but once i say "wrinkle wipe" she will come and sit down so i can clean her ,im usually behind her she will lift her head high and look into my eyes while i work on her wrinkles x
