Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

I don't know if I missed this in my search or not, but when do you recommend to start brushing a puppy?

As soon as you can. Just to get them used to being brushed and handled. If you wait, they could be a real pain to brush later on.

I agree, definitely start getting them used to being handled and brushed. Just quick few minute sessions in the beginning, and make sure you get used to doing their nails. Dogs who don't have their feet/nails handled in the beginning can be a real pain to do later in life. Cheyenne and Rodeo I worked on since they got here and they're the best. They just lay there and don't move. The others have gotten to that point with time but it would have been easier if they were introduced to it while young.

Hmm, I wonder what I did wrong. I did all those things consistently when he was a pup and he only tolerated being brushed and his feet handled. The last couple of years he's been more of a PITA! Maybe 'cause he's older and crankier?

Don't forget to handle his ears. Rub them as much as possible. Also makes it a lot easier to clean/check his ears.

I started runing a brush over Cooter once a day for 2-3 minutes, picking up his paws, handling his ears, etc. When he was 6 months old he went to the Groomers for the first time and has gone regularly every 2-3 months since. Smile
