Have A Sensitive Area?

[Camilla and Darwin]

Does your doodle have a part of their body that they don't like touched? 

Darwin could care less if I handle his paws, face, ears, etc. And he doesn't really care if I touch his tail with my hands. But he HATES it when I brush and comb his tail. This is odd, because he enjoys brushing on every other part of his body. 

[Frannie & Callie]

Callie is the same! She does not like to have her tail brushed and will promptly sit on her tail so I can't get to it.

[Nancie & Gracie Doodle]

Gracie Doodle doesn't like her tail brushed either. She will sit or start to walk away. I have to tell her to hold still and finally she will let me brush it. The easiest way is to have her lay down and then feather it out against the floor and brush it that way. She also is very touchy about her front legs and paws. I have always played with them and she will let me stroke them, scratch them and hold her paw and spread her toes. But the minute I take a comb or brush to them she starts twitching and pulling them away. Back legs and paws...no problem. Silly girl!
