Ewe: At least this works for me: one of the  doesn't much like being brushed--especially near her backside.  But if I brush her just before one of the designated feeding times, I can pretty much do whatever needs to be done--brushing, nail-clipping, etc.--because she's got just one thing on her mind--food!  She's so focused that she seems to forget just how much she dislikes what's being done to her    :-)
