Actually my grooming arm is a little dryer stand that I didn't like that much. I've been using it to train him to stand while I'm brushing him, otherwise he lies down, and it's harder to brush. It' s working, he will stand now, while being brushed, even with out using it.
I'm right there in front of him, there is no way he could jump. He's trained pretty well to not jump, even from the couch or bed; if there are no steps; he knows to stay. This grooming area is for just daily grooming – topknots and brushing, things of that nature. For his weekly grooming and hair trims, I still take him to the kitchen, and he gets his bath in the kitchen sink. I'm usually holding him with one hand, while I'm trimming him with the other. I never leave him on the counter unsupervised.
