My 8 month old bichon, Hedy, will not let me groom her! She gets mouthy and just wants to bite the comb or brush, or the hand that is grooming her. These are not hard bites, more like controlled puppy holds. I have tried to brush one stroke, praise or reward, try another stroke, repeat etc., but we never get past two or three swipes. I try to do this when she is tired out from romping in the yard, chasing balls, or just doing her "wild dog" herding routine. So far, we have not been successful in completing her beauty routines.

I attended a clickerexpo in march, but have not figured out the sequence of steps that would get us to starting and shaping the behavior so we both enjoy it. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated by Hedy and by me.
