Boy, I sure wish I had known about the groomer in advance!! At 5 months Izzie was terrified!! In preparation for the groomer wish I had:
1. Brushed puppy everyday.
2. Pretend to cut hair with scissors. Open and close the scissors around the puppies body to let them hear the sound to get used to it.
3. Put scissors near eyes (carefully!!!) and open and close them.
4. Grasp the fur under chin and hold while cooing sweetly and/or treat.
Bows, barrettes and baubles for puppies. Cute, but too distracting. My girl is a tomboy. They don't stay on.
Shampoo, from petsmart, something light, I worry about allergies (so far so good).
Make sure you line up a good vet. Instead of bows, I paid for shots and the examination. |
