| when to start having him groomed?? My little guy is 11 weeks old. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on when he should be old enough to get groomed. It would obviously after he's completed all of his shots. But I'm afraid if i let him grow to long he'll have tons of knots. i try to brush him everyday but sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day it seems like! |

| Start as soon as you can, once the bordetella is given. The first grooming should be just a bath, nail trim and sanitary clip. It should be slow, gentle and fun so they will learn to enjoy their spa days later on!

| I was going to suggest the same. As soon as all the puppy hsots are ocmpleted have a groom booked. First groom should be nothing more then an introuduction...get him on a schedule. Most groomers get VERY busy around peak times (holidays and summers), so prebooking may be a very good idea. Call around to groom shops and find someone that you feel comfortable with or someone that your friends give great recommendations. I have found some dogs HATE to be groomed...those ones I suggest every 4 weeks just a bath and tidy and keep working with your pup at home. The moe they get groomed the more they will start to realize that nothing is hurting them, what behaviour is expected, and some even learn to enjoy the pampering, but it takes time. For a full groom schedule every 6 weeks is the most i would stretch it out to.
