We love seeing the “spa day” side of grooming. The wagging tails, the kisses and the cute TikToks. For some dogs, though, being groomed is genuinely frightening and this is what fear can look like.
This dog was referred to me by another groomer for my behaviour-led sessions. Before we started, she had a vet check to rule out pain as a factor in her reactions.
We’ve got a way to go before she feels comfortable with a full groom. But heres some of the reality of the patience and understanding needed to work with these amazing animals.
I’m looking forward to helping her feel a little more comfortable, one session at a time. 🤍
