Hello folks!
Just last week I adopted Daphne a one year old Alaskan Malamute/Golden Retriever mix (web site is wrong). Shes absolutly awsome! She is one year old and had good previous onwers until they had a baby who ended up being allergic. She is very wild and michevious and needs some training which I am do right now. After all, she is still a puppy.
Ive read a bunch of articles on how to go about training her basic obediance, and have already taught her to sit, lay down, and "give" the ball or toy to me when I ask. The only problem that I havnt been able to find any hints on is how to teach her to allow me to brush her.
Basically, if I get out the brush she immediatly either spin around in circles or expects me to give or throw the brush as if its a toy. She also playfully "puppy nips" my free hand. Any tips on acclimating her to being brushed?
