A delicate subject

[DaffyDilly]

Daffy needs his sheath cleaning. In a few weeks it will probably swell up with the amount of stabling so it's a sooner rather than later jobby.

It has occured to me that "drop it" would be a fantastically useful cue for this sort of scenario, however Daffy jr is very shy and whilst he doesn't mind me touching his house, I'm probably going to struggle to get right in there. Last time he was "done" under sedation (which I should've thought of when he was sedated on Monday) because it was swollen and he was threatening to kick.

Suggestions for a relaxed, clicker aided method please.

I'm no expert but would the time to start with the clicker be when he naturally drops it? And then 'wash & click' etc?

Just trying to be helpful

There's quite a few who've read your thread - come on you lot any suggestions?

My old stallion had a melanoma inside his sheath so towards the end  he hated me washing it, so I used a hose pipe in the summer ,or a large syringe with warm water and sheath cleaner solution in the summer, also we sometimes squirt the penis with baby oil when dropped out, this seems quite effective.
I seem to remember using something orally once for excessive smegma but cant for the life of my remember what it was!!

Daffy - my boy was a bit shy too but I clickered in this sequence

let me touch with hands around the area - let me actually touch the sheath - touch the sheath all over - touch just inside the sheath - let me put a warm wet sponge around the sheath - just inside the sheath
accept the sponge further and further inside.  Or just your hand - and if you can get the sheath cleaner stuff up there it helps....

at this point he began to drop his penis and didn't seem to mind the whole process any more at all - so I guess if you get to this stage you can start teaching 'drop it!'.....

warm water though, he doesn't do cold water......

And I keep reminding him of the process obviously even when I'm not planning on spring cleaning up there just so we don't forget how harmless the whole thing is.... good luck!

Not done yet as it is taking a lot of cleaning, but getting there with minimum fuss, aided by the clicker.

I've been able to wave at Daffy jr but that's about it, he's a very modest boy bless him.

Unfortunately Daffy doesn't like gloves, and I think I need to soak my hands in the bath for an hour.

and I think I need to soak my hands in the bath for an hour.

That doesn't bear thinking about  I think it might take more than an hour in the bath to get rid of the smell - perhaps you ought to use some form of barrier cream.

My boy suffers quite badly with smegma buildup and I wouldn't dare go in without a pair of gloves, even then the smell lingers - if you know what I mean 

One of the others has a real phobia about being anywhere near his manhood, and has needed sedating in the past to get him to drop and have it clean, but I swear this has only made it worse.  He really objected under sedation and even had ACP which didn't help much either.

I have to admit I hadn't thought about clicker training to try to help with the issue, but I will definitely be giving it a go to see if it helps.

if you use the sheath cleaner liquid as soap for your hands afterwards it gets rid of everything.......including pong.......

 Hi , I decided to use the clicker to help me clean Romys sheath probably about 3 weeks ago.He does a lot of clicker so is very aware of whet it all means.Working as was described before , step by step , pretty much got the job done.If there was any raising of the legs threatening to kick ,I just waited till all four feet were back on floor and clicked and rewarded again to remind him that was where his feet had to be before he got any more clicks for anything.In fact it was pretty easy once he cottoned on that was how it had to be.Warm water is a must though and I use the sheath cleaner stuff.It's not a nice job but in a strange way I started to enjoy it, bit like picking spots , hahahahah
