Puppy doesn't know what you're doing. Start him off slow, just a few strokes down his back, talking sweetly to him, then let him go. Add more as you go along. Eventually he'll figure out how good it feels & let you do it.

What kind of brush are you using - get a soft bristled brush and begin to brush and give treats as you brush - limit brushing to 3-5 strokes per session since he is a puppy and as he begins to become adjusted to the brushing you can extend the brushing beyond and increase your grooming time. Not all puppies take to being groomed so you need to make it a positive experience.

You have to be firm with him and hold him tight (no too tight), make him understand that you're the master and give him lots of treats an priase while you brush him. This way he'll look forward to getting brushed. You cannot have a Maltese and not brush him! That would be a crime :)

pups of any breed ought to no longer be bathed before 6 weeks of age and by no skill more suitable the each and every 2 months. In between bathing them you should use a moist wash textile or infant diaper wipes. And continually use a robust high quality domestic dog shampoo for white dogs on her. the significant trick to a pretty dogs is brush, brush, brush some more suitable.

Make it a pleasant experience for him. All dogs are food motivated so have some treats handy while brushing. When he lets you brush him give him a treat.

Consider switching brushes or get a grooming glove. Some dogs take better to the glove because it simulates the same motion of you petting him.

my Yorkie used to be like that.. you just have to keep brushing until he/she gets used to it. I hold my doggie close and tell him what a good boy hes being, i give him lots of kissies and scratch his belly. then he gets a treat.

You should buy one of those glove brush things. We got one at Petsmart for my dog, she just thinks we're petting her so she doesn't even realize
