This is Walter the Golden Doodle.
In these pictures he looks so happy and relaxed but when it comes to grooming it is a completely different story.
Walter is extremely scared of being groomed and so his response is to try to scare you into stopping the process. He will bark and growl quite aggressively at you in the hopes that you will stop.
When it comes to grooming his back end and all of his legs he will actually bite.
When Walter came to me for the first time I was told to just get done what I could. It was not expected that I would be able to do the full groom on him. I worked at his pace and even though he was difficult and very upset about being groomed, I was able to get the entire groom finished.
He has now been in three times and we are making progress with his ability to trust me.
I love working with dogs like Walter because it feels so rewarding when they start to trust that you are not going to hurt them.
If you have a dog that is afraid of being groomed or needs a one on one, cage free environment please feel free to contact me.
