Oh God, Buddy bit the new groomer

Does she use the neck loop? I would think that would help some. He's not mean. I think he's just saying, "Quit it!"

Peanut does the same thing, I have to groom him now and have been for years, and if he doesn't want me to touch something I get bit, and thats the only time he has every tired to bite anyone....some don't like it I guess...

hm. i'm not a professional but you know how you aren't supposed to walk up behind a horse when you groom it?
and with a massage you are always supposed to have one hand touching the client?
maybe she left him and came back and when she touched him it startled him! she should be glad he's not a horse!!

also, just because you think she's a sweet lady doesn't mean your boy thinks the same way. i hate muzzles and would try to figure something else out.

Can you try muzzling him at home and then giving him a treat or two - maybe he'll associate it with treats.

Poor little guy - he doesn't mean any harm!

Poor little Buddy!!!! He's not a bad boy. Maybe is she did everything except his butt, she would agree to not muzzle him. I agree, the muzzle will prbably just stress him out and make him more edgy. Glad she was so nice about it. I don't think I'd like for Otis to be muzzled, he would definately throw a serious fit, and thats not good during grooming.
