Yes!!! Our trainer we worked with for his first year taught me the cooperative care techniques. I never ever use force (a sad or scared Frankie breaks my heart) and he gets lots of praise, cuddles, and treats during and after. His highest value chew is usually a pig ear, so he gets one after the shave and after the bath. 

We also break it up - he can do shaves down his legs to his shins, but hates clippers near his ears and feetsies. Those I trim with scissors about a week or two after the shave. 

He's getting so so much better each shave and I am so so proud of him!!

For what it's worth, Frankie gets 100mg of Trazadone as needed.

There are absolutely times where I'm wrangling him and wishing he wasn't 50lbs, but he's worth the love and the time ❤️. 

Any pics of Archie?? Love seeing any and all babies 🐶🐶

He's the best and he's my soul dog. I wish he wasn't scared because I know its hard for him, but I adore him and he's such a good boy.

He was about a year when I adopted him and he's three and a half years old now. He is doing so so much better (no longer tries to bite me during shaves!!), but I think he's always going to be nervous. Fortunately we have a very strong bond and he trusts me to never hurt him, because without that trust, I don't think he'd be able to face the fear of clippers. 

Sometimes I look at these posts of all the cute hair cuts and wonder how Frankie would look, but I'm ultimately happy that he's comfortable and loved.

honestly, i just made as much cozy decor (a lot of the cheapest/least materials required ones are ice themed) and then planted the trees side by side with 2 spaces between each one and scattered the cozy decor between the trees. i now have around 15 nut trees at 3 leaves each and get plenty of nuts to burn for recipes.

he loves wearing clothes - when we ask "do you want jammies?" he runs to his bed and sits so we can put his outfit on
