Whether your dog is a young puppy getting ready for his/her first groom ever or an older dog who has been coming for years, there are a few things you can do at home to make their grooming visit a little more comfortable for them:
1. Play with your dog’s ears and paws. Every dog that comes to our salon gets their ears cleaned and nails trimmed, so ensuring they are used to having their ears and paws touched is great! For ears you can touch them gently, lift the flaps, rub behind their ears, and gently massage at the base of the ear. For paws you can practice holding their paws, or for bonus points you can gently brush their paws with an old electric tooth brush to get them used to the vibrations of a Dremel.
2. Hold your dog’s face. Dogs are used to getting pet on the head, but most aren’t used to having their head held still like we need to trim those beautiful faces, so you can practice holding their head in your hands to help them get used to it.
3. Get them used to the sounds of clippers/blow dryers. One of the most common things that makes dogs nervous at a grooming studio is the noises. We use electric clippers and blow dryers for various parts of their grooms, and getting them used to those sounds in a more familiar environment can go a long way to making them feel more comfortable!
If you ever have any questions about your groom, please feel free to give us a call! Thanks as always for your business and we can’t wait to see you at your next groom!
A day in the life of a dog at the grooming shop!🐾
