[Training, Sam] I have tried, for several years with little success, to reward Sam during grooming for "good" behavior.

IE staying still, not pulling away, etc.

Now I'm saying fuck behavior, I'm just rewarding like hell for any and all parts of the grooming process I have to do.

Basically, I'm p. sure I've wasted a lot of time doing things the other way, but I'll keep things updated XD

Sam, for the record, tolerates grooming, but likes absolutely none of it. Which often leads to me only being able to work in small bits at a time.

Because I do have a rule that I don't push once he starts giving me too many stress behaviors, and that I give him a release word when we're done so he knows he doesn't have to anticipate more yucky grooming for a while.
