So so proud of my boy!

As I mentioned in my previous post about Rusty, he has a lot of issues! One of his more severe issues was his dislike of grooming. In the rescue centre he had to be sedated to be groomed, because if you went near him with a brush he would bare his teeth/growl/snap and bite you if you kept going.

We've been working steadily with him now since we got him, and today I was able to seperate all his layers and work through some matts and even cut them out without so much as a grumble! He even fell asleep on my leg at one point!

Eeee, so proud

Thank you

I think he secretly likes it now, he just made such a show of himself before that he can't quite admit yet

Thanks guys. I think trust is a huge part of it, and realising he has a lot to lose if he bites us! lol.
