Another great tip. I would never get anything done if I tried to groom my guys on the floor, or the couch, or my lap. Also, I thought my big countertop was great for grooming, but after attending a dog show, I am inclined to purchase a small grooming table/rolling cart. With less area to roam, the dogs will be easier to keep in place while working on them.
