🌟 why you should introduce pups to grooming from a young age🌟
Introducing your puppy to the grooming process from a young age is so important 😊 you should ideally start as soon as they have had their vaccinations, which tends to be from around 12 weeks
They wont need a haircut then, but its so important to build the foundations first. I like to say, you teach a child to swim with armbands until they are used to the process and confident. You wouldnt just throw them in the deep end with nothing for their first swim!! And its so important you dont do this to your pups.
Start young with introductions. A bath and blowdry, getting used to being on the table, getting used to the noises of the equipment, being held. A few of these on a regular schedule will mean theyre already used to so many aspects of the grooming process and most importantly have been allowed to build trust with me, their groomer, and by the time theyre due their first haircut it wont be a scary process, itll just be part of their routine!
Routine, a schedule, maintaince from you at home in between appointments ( brush brush brush!) and choosing a groomer youre willing to let your pup build a bond and trust with is the key to a happy confident well rounded dog.
Grooming will be part of their routine for the rest of their lives so lets not make it something to be afraid of, and just something that is part of their routine ❤️
I am a one to one groomer and building that bond with your pups is key to me. Every dog is different, everyone has things theyre confident with, things that need a little more reassurance, ways they like to be held, techniques that suit them best. When you choose me as your groomer and we can establish a schedule that best suits your pup, I promise to always build a bond and do things in the way that best suits them and their individual needs 😊🐾
