Hot Rod has been to the groomers twice.  First time they did his face and head, a little off the body and back area.  The 2nd time I have them do a puppy cut all over and they said that he was so good, he sat there and closed his eyes for them when they did his face.  So I think that getting used to and trusting the person is a big part of it.  I see the lady who grooms him all the time, they also have supplies and she holds him everytime we go there.
