| How to Socialize? I'm wondering if I can have some input from everyone regarding how they socialized their pups to grooming, especially for longer coats. I've never had a long hair dog before that has required this much grooming. I look at these show dogs who have to go through so much and I wonder how the heck do you even start? I know one bad incident can have a major affect and I don't want to ruin my puppy's experiences! Where and when should I start? I'd really like to let his coat grow out to a fuller length. Thanks! |

| I start grooming my puppies at 6 weeks. I have made my own grooming basr that attaches to my kitchen counter. this helps to keep them in place so I have both hands free to trim ears and butts and nails, snd brush their teeth. By the time their coat is long they are used to it all, the electric trimmer the blow dryer etc. All of mine get bathed and brushed every Sunday. They are all in full coat Last edited by JeanieK; 11-16-2009 at 11:36 AM. |
