“How can I prepare my dog for their 1st groom?”
This is a question I’m asked a lot. Truth is your puppy’s (or dog’s) first ever groom isn’t about achieving the perfect haircut, it’s about helping them feel safe, relaxed and confident.
You can make a huge difference at home with short regular positive sessions. Rewarding calm behaviour is key.
Ive just shared a few small tips in this video that I have found work. If your puppy or dog seems worried, make it easier and end on a good note.
The idea is to build confidence. A little preparation at home can help them arrive at the salon feeling more confident and make the experience much more enjoyable.
If you’re in the Evesham or Pershore area and you’ve been putting off booking because you think your dog won’t cope, pop me a message to discuss your dogs worries 🙂
