[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 181732"] You have to touch the face in order for the dog to get used to being handled. Touch the face, the paws, the tail, take food and toys away from them while puppies and then give it back (to teach them not to become food/toy aggressive). They need to become used to it so when examined by a vet they are ok and so nails can be trimmed, so they don't snap at someone trying to take a toy or food away, etc. FWIW, Jewel loves her face rubbed. She nuzzles my hand with her snout and as I rub her cheek, she relaxes and lies down. But, you're right...there is a whole dog to pet. [/QUOTE]
