5 month old, second groom and they've suggested "something to calm her" - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

New groomer....do NOT take the baby back to this groomer...her frustration with trying to groom a precious little baby that is just learning about all this grooming stuff, is going to cause her to do something that could permanently imprint on this baby and you will NEVER be able to get the baby past whatever bad experience the groomer puts this baby thru. I had a froomer actually get pissed because their receptionist messed up and doubled up on clients....the groomer got mad at my precious tiny little 2# Bumper and HELD him, struggling and thinking he was drowning, under the running water....poor little Bumper was NEVER the same after that event....he would run and hide, absolutely terrified, whenever you turned running water on, like in the kitchen to wash dishes. DO NOT ALLOW THIS GROOMER TO TERRIFY YOUR BABY LIKE THIS....my poor little Bumper NEVER got over that horror.....

We don't want to sedate her at all, any suggestions or shall we find a new groomer?

bad groomer

do as much as you can yourself and get her used to being handled. find another, more experienced person in the future

Puppies should never be drugged for grooming purposes. Period.

Drug the groomer!!!!

Sounds like the groomer needs the meds!!! I vote like all the above to find a new groomer or groom yourself. Georgie is 7 and still wiggles.

Time for a NEW Groomer! Puppies are wiggly in general. When mine were pups the Groomer made sure block off extra time because pups takes longer to groom.
