[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 658697, member: 805"] I have a 12-year old doxie and I found what works best is gauze wrapped around my index finger and coated with chicken flavored tooth paste I buy at my vet's office. What I did at first (he was a rescue at 10 and hated his mouth/teeth touched) was to say "teeth" then put him on my lap and give him a treat. After a while, he associated teach with treat. Then I would lightly massage his "cheek" until I was touched his teeth while talking to him. Eventually I was able to just say "teeth" and he knew if he sat and let me massage his mount (!), it would be followed by a treat! Takes a couple times but if my stubborn rescue boy took to it, I bet yours will too! [/QUOTE]
