I used to groom both of my Bichons myself before I found my groomer, who is great and has 20 years' experience grooming Bichons. It's very hard to find a good groomer. I use a card table with a rubber bath mat on it for comfortable footing. I have a grooming arm that I can use to put a leash around the dog's neck or abdomen (to keep him/her from sitting down) and to keep him/her quiet. I don't use the arm any more because both of mine are used to being groomed and will sit/stand still. My granddaughter's Yorkie is very wiggly and I may try the grooming arm with her to see if I can get her used to being groomed. |
