My Bella was this bad...absolutely hated it! I tried staying to help and it was literally like a work out, except worse because it was stressful also. The groomer really tried patiently but actually told me she thought I should take her to a vet and have her sedated and groomed. That wasn't an option for me so I found the worlds best groomer. She started out taking Bella all day and working on her a few minutes at a time throughout the day so it was easier on bella and less stressful. After about 3 times doing this she trusted her and let her do it normally. She was a blessing for us...I hope you find someone who is willing to "condition" your dog into the process! |
