If you plan on having your dog groomed on a regular basis and you are not going to do it yourself, I like them to come to the shop as soon as possible. We have a clean safe shop and I think the puppies have a lot to learn at our shop and a lot of noise to get used to. I find the puppies we start at our shop turn out to be our best clients. I like puppies to come every 4 weeks until they are comfortable and have learned to behave for all aspects of grooming. As far as the first haircut goes that is up to you, but at least by that time the puppy will be use to the bath, clippers, dryers and the grooming table.
It is very hard to work on a dog that is a year old or more and afraid because it has never been to a shop for its grooming.
This is just how we do it at our shop the sooner the better.......
