She told me to touch them to get him used to it and he's much better now, though he is still very very very happy to see us when we return. He is always given a bowl of water and a treat as well. I must say, however, after reading horror stories on this site, I am a bit wary of groomers now, even the good ones. I would love to groom my dog but I don't think I have the knowlege or confidence to use sharp tools. Can anyone recommend how to learn to groom a dog?  |
Atticus is pretty mellow. He loves when I groom him. I'm terrified to cut his hair, but now I am willing to give it a try, for sure. Please let me know if you figure out the best way to learn.
