What to do with a puppy afraid of brush?

My puppy is a type that does need to be brushed twice a week. But brushing him is always a long, complicated event because is afraid of the brush and will sometimes back/ run away from it or bark at it or try to attack it. He is 10 weeks old.


Thanks in advance for any help.What to do with a puppy afraid of brush?
Puppies are incredibly cute at this age, but will also be scared by a shadow! I would try to have the brush around him as much as possible, especially when not in use, to get him used to it's presence. Encourage him to smell it, touch it and generally become comfortable with it. Put it down at his level so it doesn't seem so big. (But don't let him chew it!) When you do brush him, try putting some of his food in his bowl, or some treats, so he can associate being brushed with something pleasureable. If you have another person there, have them occasionally feed him treats or hold a teething bone for him to gnaw on. This will take his attention away from, ';What is this huge spiky thing being waved over my head?!'; Speak soothingly while you are brushing and every time he lets you brush him without complaint, praise him. Hopefully you will only need to do this for a couple of weeks until it is just part of his normal routine.What to do with a puppy afraid of brush?
I think it's because it's something he's not used to. My puppy used to be afraid of leashes, so I think the best thing for you to do is slowly let him get used to brushing. Show him the brush, let him sniff it, put it on the floor near him, let him approch it and get used to it. Let him see that the brush isnt a threat to him
Try cutting his hair short so its not so long and it won't take long to brush it. Try giving him a treat when your done and he'll start to like it. If all else fails try putting him on the leash and loop it on something and then pet, console, and brush him, then give him a treat.


Good Luck to you and your puppy.


P.S. visit drsfoster%26amp;smith.com you can get some very nice treats and things to clean thier eyes and ears.





Put on your doggie coat and boots too. Dogs get cold just like us and need to stay warm. Also put on those booties before going out! The ice can get stuk inbetween and on his toes and feet which can cause frost bite.
My pup used to be afraid of the brushing too...I used to put peanut butter in his kong and give it to him when I started to brush him...he was so distracted by the kong that he had no idea I was brushing him...he also started to associate treats and good things with the brush so I was able to brush him without the kong after awhile...
The first person that answer you? Her name is.....





Kale............!





She is right!





I will say the very same thing give it a try.





Good luck.
Make it fun for him, brush him for short periods and give him treats, don't give him time or the opportunity to bark at it or bite it. Pick him up and pet him and brush him gently while you are petting him and giving him treats.

How do you clean a boar bristle basting brush? Can it go in the dishwasher?

Ha! Say THAT 6 times fast.





Anyway, it's a Pampered Chef basting brush, and my husband and I disagree about how to clean it, especially after using it with oils.How do you clean a boar bristle basting brush? Can it go in the dishwasher?
I'm a Pampered Chef consultant, but I don't have the boar bristle brush. I looked on our website. It just says to hand wash it. --Not too specific, eh?


I would soak it in HOT water first, then wash with water that's not too soapy.


I'll ask some other consultants what they do.


We have discontinued that product, though we still have the BBQ version. The new basting brush is made of silicone and is a cinch to clean.


Good luck!

How often do you change your lavatory cleaning brush?

Is yours a brush to match a fancy container, to be used until the decor is changed, or do you replace often with the plain plastic cheapy from local supermarket?How often do you change your lavatory cleaning brush?
Take no notice of answers above if they don't like the question they don't have to answer itHow often do you change your lavatory cleaning brush?
There's no need to change it if you keep it spotless. I never put it back in the container dirty. Pour neat bleach on it (watch your clothes) and swish it around in the loo until it's clean. I also keep a bit of bleachy water in the container all the time, replacing it every few days, and I buy the cheapo one from Tesco if I need a new one, but they last for years if kept clean.
I don't like lavatory brushes. We never had one when I was a kid either. They harbour germs and look disgusting (you can see what they are used to remove-yeuch!) when you see them in other people's loos. I just wipe off any 'accidents' left on the toilet bowl with toilet roll then flush it away and use a toilet cleaner/bleach around the toilet pan. This is much more hygienic than a brush left 'hanging around'.
I don't know if this is a serious question. But incase it is...I don't use those toilet cleaning brushed. They are infested with nasty bacteria. Instead I use the toilet wand with the changable head. Then when I use one I just flush it down. I know it's bad for the environment and all, but I'd rather not have all that nasty bacteria in my bathroom.
you are better off not having one of these revolting things, put a rubber glove on plenty of bleach and scrub the loo with a scratchy pad, the sort you use for washing up. If the loo is done every day it stays beautiful and clean. I think these are just harbingers of germs yuk
When I moved into a house a few months ago that I'm renting with a friend, there was a toilet brush still in the bathroom. When we tried to move it, it was stuck inside the holder (gross!) so we ditched it and got a new cheapo one.
This is an odd question, but I'll play along...





Our lavatory brush is one of those that has a not-so-fancy container that goes with it. I don't replace those brushes that often, but I clean them with bleach twice a year.
Haven't needed to change it as yet, we just pop it into the dishwasher on occasion and it comes out as good as new.
dont use loo brushes as they carry germs even when u have been usin bleach in loo i use rubber gloves with a sponge and bleach. get to where u need instead of missin places.
Change them when they need it. Bleach every week. What a nosy question. You don't have enough things to think about.
I change mine as soon as the old one starts to taste funny.
what sort of person asks that question over the internet?


and y do u need 2 no


its a toilet brush


change it when it starts 2 smell
you need to get out more!

How do I adjust the carburetor on my brush saw?

My saw is spewing out blue smoke, more than it should anyhow. I use correct fuel/oil ratio, so I think it must the the carb settings. Which screw do I adjust and do I turn it left or right?How do I adjust the carburetor on my brush saw?
Turn both screws clockwise 1/8 turn. If you go hog-wild and turn them in a lot, it will burn-up your engine! Just remember the fuel is where the engine gets it's lubrication from too!How do I adjust the carburetor on my brush saw?
First off, what brand of oil are you using, and does it meet the specs for chainsaws and the like? Many people make the mistake of using oil made for snowmobiles and outboard motors and such which will not be of sufficient quality for the much faster revving saw engine, and they do not have the proper additive package needed to reduce the smoke. Now to the carb question- assuming you have the proper oil and proper mix, the carb should only be adjusted if there are idling or high speed problems. Depending on your specific model saw, there should be 3 screws on the side of the carb- for low speed adjustment, high speed adjustment and idle speed. First start the saw and slowly turn the low speed screw in a little then out a little taking note of the speed while you do this-it may take a few times to get it right but when the engine speed is the fastest low speed, you have it right. Now reset the idle speed so it is just below clutch engagement speed-you may need to tweak low speed screw again. Then with throttle wide open, adjust the high speed screw in then out to achieve highest speed obtainable, and that's about it for that, but to me it sounds like possibly your mix might be a little rich, especially if your saw is 20 or more years old and you are using the newer oil made for leaner mixtures, as the older saws need a mix of 20 or 30 to 1, and the newer oils work best at 40 or 50 to 1, even in older saws.
its not the carburetor its the oil you are using

How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?

Also, should you clean your gums at a separate time with just water?How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?
Providing you don't particularly need a filling often, at 19 you'll have all your teeth (with your wisdoms coming through possibly), and should be brushing at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste. It's normally recommended you brush for at least 2 minutes, 30 seconds per quarter of your mouth (upper left/upper right/lower left/lower right).


I would also suggest brushing from the back teeth, forwards, as these are commonly most ignored.





You should aim to floss before brushing, twice a day, however if you can only floss once a day, do it before bedtime.





There isn't a real need to clean your gums at a seperate time, however mouthwashing twice a day often improves the condition of your gums too.How often and for how long should you brush and floss your teeth at 19?
You should floss at least twice a day

What is the best way to remove a brush hair on wet canvas?

It's happened to us all, we are busily working to blend something and notice a brush hair has come off on our painting. Its so hard to pick it off and not leave a pit in the paint, or if we brush at it, we get an effect that we don't want. So what is the best way to remove a hair, or lint from a wet painting without creating trouble?What is the best way to remove a brush hair on wet canvas?
If I'm doing a portrait or more surrealistic painting I always keep a pair or small-tipped tweezers nearby. I have found out from years of painting that the tweezers work much better than any pallet knife or fingernail. If you lift it straight up and gently it shouldn't mar the effect you are creating very much.





Also, if you haven't used certain brushes for awhile or are using newly bought ones it always helps to 'dry brush' the brush on a neutral surface to make sure and remove any loose bristles. You can run the brush across the palm of your hand a few times (or any surface matter) and this should do the trick.What is the best way to remove a brush hair on wet canvas?
first may be best to make sure any hairs that are lose be removed before painting, and may be indication to get a new brush, use the brush at hand to re-attach hair back to brush, and clean brush, also have a spare thin flat brush handy, and use the brush hairs to remove the hair,

Pallet knife very carefully lift it off and ifit leaves a mark touch it up
If I can't lift it with my fingernail, I keep a dry (old) brush handy to sort of lift up the bristle that's in the paint and pick it up that way.
Let it dry, and then do it then; if anything messes up touch it up.

When the brush fires hit southern california every year, is it always the work of arsonists?

I mean every year it happens! I was born and raised there, and remember riding my bike up into the Santa Monica mountains when i was a kid, to see the firefighters and the smoke and flames. Just last night, a new wildfire hit the Santa Barbara area, in the town of Montecito, destroying at least 70 homes. Those Santa Ana winds are notorious for help fan the flames, but isn't it really the work of arsonist(s) in this case, usually? What's everyone think?





When the brush fires hit southern california every year, is it always the work of arsonists?
I know where you're coming from! I'm from Santa Barbara and just this year there have been 3 different fires! (HORRIBLE!!)


As easy as it is to put the blame on arsonists, sometimes mother earth plays a huge roll. I'm not saying that there aren't evil people out there who intentionally start fires, but living in an area with sooo much vegetation, it's almost hard for fires not to start. Yup, as lovely as Southern Cali is, we always have that worry in the back of our minds that a wild fire might break out any moment... wether it be winter, spring, summer, or fall. When the brush fires hit southern california every year, is it always the work of arsonists?
Could their homes be in foreclosure? Maybe they set the fires to collect insurance instead of losing it all due to foreclosure. In this economy, how many people can afford homes of that size in that location? Not everyone has Oprah's income.
It's just God punishing California for being dirty heathens.
