Loki, and Remi are siblings who get along so well together! Remi is slightly older, and was absolutely perfect and calm for the entire groom. Loki, is still a puppy, and is still very new to grooming!
He was very afraid of almost every part of the grooming process, so we took things very slowly for him, and dropped the service from a full groom to a bath and brush.
Itās extremely important not to overwhelm puppies and force them to get groomed when they arenāt ready, as it 100% can make them more afraid in the future. Thankfully mom was very understanding and already knew this and we did start some desensitizing training with Loki in preparation for his next groom.
Loki was also terrified of being in a kennel without his sister, so I let him watch her while she got her haircut, and it put him right at ease.
I love Woofs for this reason! Being able to feel at ease because my puppy clients get to nap by their sibling, instead of stressing in a kennel is a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders as a groomer. I never want a dog to feel scared while in my care, but I also want him to be 100% safe.
Iām hoping the snooze he got will encourage him to feel comfortable in the future!
