How to handle grooming a wild pup!! Sawyer is not crazy about grooming; but he never fights me, and is fairly cooperative; but Darby is another story. He is 15 weeks old, and jumps from the grooming table to my arms no matter what I try. I am afraid to use the loop on him for fear he will break his little neck trying to get away. He has a lot of coat (Biewer) and needs to be kept tangle free, or I will run into big problems. He is a little love, and very affecionate; but the terier in him says forget it to grooming. Any ideas?:confused::confused: |
We are going to start grooming our two at home and I know from our groomers that Crosley is a pain to groom! I don't know if it works, but we bought some Comfort Zone spray that is supposed to help keep them calm. It comes in a plug in as well, but we bought the spray so we can use it for the car too. Crosley doesn't travel well either! I hope it works, it's not cheap! It's like $26. |
I would start off lightly with him.. say on your lap. With a light misting of detangler ( never brush a dry coat) and praise him during the whole process. At the very end of your session ( make them short to start) but frequent. Place him onto the grooming table ending the grooming session with one more light brushing ( praise and reward) He will get the hang of it ;) Best Wishes Jan Quote:

You will be able to do it, just takes longer time and patience. I have been grooming mine for some time. He is 2 in June and he still doesn't stay still for me for grooming. He only stays still for 2-3 minutes at a time. After that it is "carry me" time. So I groom him 2-3 minutes, carry him for another 30 seconds and then back to grooming lol talk about being spoilt! I just allocate more time to groom him once every 3 weeks but at least I know I am giving him first class treatment and I don't have to leave him with a groomer and getting worried if they treat him well. |

Take a prozac...jeeze I had that problem when I first started my grooming of Lulu and Zoey. OMG the only thing I can recommend is having someone hold them until they get used to it. |

Lots of hands on stimulation.. lots of praise.. He is still adjusting to his new home, and in no time at all he will adjust to the grooming.;) Jan |

Short, easy sessions. Reward with a small treat at the end. I do a lot of introduction to brush and comb while they are on my lap, giving the puppy a special chew toy for while they are groomed only. And lots of patience. |
