Like most dogs, Django refused to let us go anywhere his mouth with a dog-friendly finger brush. Django would shake his head and squirm violently away from the toothbrush whenever our hands got near his mouth. Sound familiar?
Well one day I accidentally discovered an amazing trick. I stumbled upon a way to brush Django's teeth without the violent squirming and discomfort. I shared my idea with our vet who excitedly replied "You need to make a YouTube video and share this with the world!!!". So I did.
