Never a dull moment in that house is there? Ice cubes are the way to go and if you are having trouble with keeping his head still:
1) use the gentle leader head collar I suggested a long time ago and hold the lead ring down on your knee while applying the ice or
2) wrap a kitchen dish towel around the back of his neck and over and around his muzzle with the two ends meeting under his chin or
3) have a second person (like Pete, not the kids) hold the back of his jaw in the crook of his right arm while applying light pressure on his back with the back of his left arm while the left hand is grasping the right wrist firmly. This gives control of the head and body, although I have had a female Rott back out of it while we were trying to artifically inseminate her.
You can then use a clipper (or beard trimmer - poor Pete) to get the remainder off.
Good Luck and Happy Fourth of .... Oh, never mind. |
