Hazels first ever groom🐾
It’s so important to get your puppy used to the grooming process at a young age.
Although the full range of grooming treatments may not be necessary from an early age you can still get your puppy used to the process so that as they get older they are fully comfortable. Things you can do at home to help prepare your puppy for grooming:
🐶 Get your puppy used to being handled in ways they may not be used to – e.g. having their paw pads tickled or their ears looked at
🐾Pet, cuddle and soothe them through any grooming as this will ensure they remain calm
❤️Keep grooming activity short at first, until your puppy gets comfortable and then you can extend it
If you use any tools – such as nail clippers – show them to your puppy so they’re not scared
🧼 When you bathe your puppy make sure you stay with them at all times, lavishing them with attention and affection in the same way you would a baby
