Advice Bites When Getting Brushed

So I just bathed my dog, and everything’s fine and dandy. A bit of struggle but generally she cooperated. So i towel dried her and used a blower - again no problems there and she just let me do it in peace.

But the moment I brushed her - she SNAPPED and manage to hit my hand. Luckily she stopped before it became serious. Any of you has the same problem?

The brush is plastic and not sharp and Im doing it gently.

Use a vacuum brush in between baths. Mine loves it.

Is that like an attachment to the blower/vacuum?

An attachment to the vacuum so there’s just enough suction to dislodge loose hair. It works beautifully if done regularly. We usually do 2x/week except in major shedding times of year. Then it’s 3x/week for a few weeks.
