At 14 months the pup should be used to grooming unless the grooming routine was done in a way that caused distress.
At this point pleae take pup to be professionally groomed-things liek nail trimes, anal glands etc are about $10-$20 ask around.
Your vet can also do these services, and unless you need a full shampoo, condition , nails, teeth, ears, anals then just having a specific service liek anal gland check or check and cleaning or nail trim it's really very, very cheap so let a professional create a new pattern of routine and behavioral response from the dog will continue-maybe after a few times at a groomers you should go and learn how the groomer does it and learn to do it yourself if you want. Please let a professional do it at least 4-6 times to create a pattern of relaxed grooming for the dog to become less fearful-most biting running away is obviously due to fear. |
