I don't even mind if the groomer sticks them both into a crate together...so long as they're together. I noticed my Boo is pretty bad socially. He seems insecure so I don't wanna risk him getting hurt at the groomers while waiting his turn for a haircut...or post cut. This socializing issue has to be dealt with FOR SURE...next on my list of "to-do" with this boy. I really want him to have peace and harmony within...TRAINING, TRAINING, TRAINING...lol  |
The reason I got the table top grooming table was because my back was killing me doing it on the floor. Also, Columbo will struggle when he's had enough, which makes it quite an ordeal. Having the table arm to attach him to allows me to use both hands instead of using one to hold onto him. I don't trust him because he'd wait for the right moment to try to get away and jump off and hurt himself. So far with the table, he's behaved himself and since its a lazy susan, I can move him around without actually moving him. For the first time, I've given him longer hair on his head and been able to make it symmetrical. If you have a dog that likes to be groomed and will behave, you could probably do it on a towel on the table. Just be sure he doesn't try to jump off. He'd really get hurt.
