What area are you trimming and what are you using to do it?
When Gracie was smaller I had someone help me by holding her on the coffee table for me.
If you are doing the face it helps to get a hold of the beard to keep her from moving the face around. That will steady the head movement.
I wouldn't attempt to do a lot of grooming all alone with a dog that does not want you to do it.
I wouldn't take my dog to a groomer that has injured a dog but you might want to interview groomers and go visit them to find a place that you are comfortable with. I'd ask for references, too. If they don't like it then that is not the place you want to be. |
