Ouch, That Hurt!

If only dogs could say this when they’re in pain, but instead, they can only resort to growling, snapping, or becoming agitated to communicate their discomfort. Take Charlie the cockapoo, for example. Grooming had become such a struggle for him that he needed to be sedated for it in the past. Concerned about his behaviour, Charlie’s family sought help from a trainer, who recommended a vet physio. It was there that they discovered Charlie was living with several painful conditions, including elbow dysplasia. Now, after many appointments and a team of professionals, he’s getting the pain relief he needs. It’s absolutely no wonder he was struggling so much with grooming. I’m glad that Charlie found his way to me, too, where we are working on a complete reintroduction to grooming at Charlie’s pace.

This situation highlights the importance of not labeling dogs as “aggressive” or “reactive” during grooming without exploring potential underlying causes. In Charlie’s case, his resistance to grooming wasn’t due to a behavioural issue—it was pain. Many dogs might be experiencing similar discomfort, but instead of receiving the support they need, they’re misunderstood. As groomers and pet owners, it’s crucial to recognise that behaviour is often a sign of something deeper, like pain.

I genuinely believe pain is the cause of many dogs grooming issues. Charlie is fortunate to have a family who advocated for him and pushed to get the support he needs 🐾💙

I get it.....I really do.
It is cold, you just got home and you have 30 minutes to walk your dog, but you also need to get some exercise in to destress, unwind and get the blood pumping.
Your dog will love it...won't they ?
Some will, but lately there are too many dogs running "dutifully" behind people.
Some dogs have obvious limps but people can't see that from out the front.
Some dogs attempt to stop...to urinate and are tugged/dragged to continue, because your pace is good and you want to continue.
Sniffing and enrichment isn't a consideration at all...it can't be because that run needs to continue for your own well being and reasons.
At the pace you set.
For the time you set.
Are their needs even a consideration in the decision making?
Is this for them or for you ?
Sometimes our dogs needs for enrichment and enjoyment are easily forgotten because every night we must walk or run that certain route...in that certain time.
Or WE don't feel better.......
