Ferdinand had some bad experiences at the groomer that I didn't know about until I switched groomers. His new groomer said he had been "force clipped" or something like that. Apparently they didn't ease him in to the grooming process and he has now developed a violent behavior when they bring the clippers out - he bites and growls at it. So I decided to groom him myself for a while to get him used to the clippers and the noise.

One groomer told me I can take an inexpensive electric toothbrush (like the $5 ones you can get at Target) and run it all over his body every day so he gets used to the noise and vibration. She said that's really good to do with puppies so they don't have a bad first experience.
