Grooming your puppy should start as soon as possible! Just like everything else it is a learning experience and puppies need to start young so they can learn to be groomed safely.

Many groomers have grooming sessions geared towards introducing puppies to the process. Pay your groomer a "social" visit before having your puppy groomed and have your puppy groomed (very minimally) on the second visit.

If you keep brushing and combing to keep your puppy knot free it will help your dog to have a better experience with a groomer, as there will be no mats for them to deal with😀

I start trimming my puppies ears, feet, bums, neck from when the puppies are a few weeks old. Couple of times a week I let them experience scissor and clipper sounds while they are on a table.
I ask owners to continue with daily brushing and combing. Please invest in a grooming table! Start with 30 sec, then a minute, then two minutes...

Time and treats will make your puppy have a positive experience. Nail clipping, examining sore paws etc is also easier done on the grooming table.

You can't expect your puppy to behave on the table for your groomer if your puppy hasn't been trained at home. Your groomer will love you for teaching your puppy to stand comfortably on the grooming table. Ilona Shur Inishmore

Spring is here! With warmer weather and lovely plants in bloom, it’s a great time to enjoy quality time in the yard. Keep your pet safe by being mindful of your mulch and making sure it’s free of cocoa bean shells. For more tips, view here: http://bit.ly/2wlSJVu
