The stages of a Puppy Groom ❤️
1. Introduction
I always give puppies a good 10-15 minutes to settle in the salon environment and get used to me, we have cuddles and they can sniff around wherever they want before eventually moving on to...
2. Bath
I introduce them to the bath very slowly, turning it on before they are in it so they know the sound and then pop them in and let them have a wander around and sniff before popping the water on and giving them a nice gentle bath.
3. They then get a lovely cuddle towel dry to absorb a lot of the excess water, besides helping them dry faster having a bit of a cuddle helps to calm them before starting the drying process.
4. Drying. I take my time when it comes to drying puppies! The dryer can be very scary, so in order to build confidence I take it slow and steady with lots of cuddles and treats!
5. Drying complete! Time for a break!
6. Trimming. A puppy groom for long haired breeds includes an eye, feet and bum tidy. The time this takes will vary greatly puppy to puppy!
7. Post groom snuggles, play and positivity!
Grooming is a life long requirement for so many breeds and starting them young is so important, so they can build a relationship with their groomer and learn that grooming can be a nice, relaxing experience.
