This is Buddy the 10 month old Golden retriever mix. His owner is a current customer of mine she also has a super cute pekingese. She recently got Buddy. And has been nervous about booking him for grooming. Buddy is nervous. She explained he is scared of sudden movements and loud noise. Her being nervous to bring him in is 100% understandable. I took this video of him doing absolutely amazing while being blow dried! When she told me he's terrified of the vacuum cleaner. We decided if he was to scared of the dryer I would towel dry him.
Buddy was definitely nervous but he was so brave and so sweet! This type of situation is why I love one on one grooming. If Buddy were to go to a salon with other dogs and several staff members all hustling around doing their thing I don't think he would have warmed up to the process. I really took my time with him got him in the tub let him sniff every tool I used on him and told him what a good boy he was! I was so excited that he stood nice for the dryer as was his owner! I wanted to share this little victory because it's such a great feeling to be able to help a dog feel more confident in themselves. ππΆ
He comes back in 8 weeks and I am excited to what this sweet boy grow and fully bond and trust me.
