Wrinkle & Nose Rope Cleaning

[mavsfan4life]

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.

Thanks! I will give this a try

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!

Pickle not a big fan of the cleanings either but treats make it bearable.

I rub barley's tail pocket. Instant happy do. I used to put a treat in one of those treat balls.

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
