How do i get my dog to let me clean his ears?
Every time I attempt to clean my rescue cocker spaniel's ears, he turns his head away and rolls on his back. I even warmed up the ear solution as suggested by the dog trainer and he stills makes a fuss.
I always show my dog the bottle of what I'm using plus any supplies and let her smell it first. I also explain what I'm going to do in a soothing manner. After she smells it throughly she seems satisfied and then lets me proceed.
When I first starting cleaning my dogs ear, I would massage her ears and then give her a treat. After inserting the cleaner, I would then give another treat until she associated ear cleaning with positivity.
