I have a 4 year old champion bitch who will still wriggle and shake her head if the judge looks at her mouth so I tend to offer to show it.
I have always found mine hate having their teeth looked at, from about 3 1/23 months, and if the looker faffs about soon learn to avoid it.
the way ti is done makes a huge difference, and i have found by steadying the head from behind from the neck and using the hand below the jaw to lift the top lips so no covering of top jaw works best.
Very quick looks through the day and lots of praise.
