19 Sep The Most Important Do’s and Don’ts In the First Dog Grooming (Part 2)

In the previous part, we said that your dog’s first grooming experience would shape his interest in this process for the rest of his life. To create interest in your dog, you must follow essential points. For example, from an early age, caress and massaging his claws or touch their ears to make the groomer’s work easier. Don’t forget to brush regularly, even for short-haired dogs. For reducing your dog’s anxiety, it is better to have his favourite toys and treats with you. In this section, we will explain other vital points about dog grooming.

When are puppies ready for grooming?

One of the things to consider at the beginning is to try to make the first grooming experience when the puppy is tiny. Some dog owners make the mistake of waiting too long. Pet experts recommend bringing your puppy to grooming before the age of 16 weeks. As soon as the puppy completes his first perceptions of the world around him, everything becomes simple for him.

Check out the best dog grooming salon.

As a new owner, you need to find an ideal place to groom your dog. Fortunately, finding a reliable pet shop is easily possible through an internet search. Ask your friends, veterinarians and puppy trainers first. Once you are familiar with reputable pet shops, check out their sites and customer feedback. From the comments of customers whose dog has enjoyed this experience, you can find out which groomer is skillful. Some things to consider in a grooming salon are:

• Smells good
• Have good lighting
• Be clean
• The staff should be friendly and have sufficient knowledge in this regard
• Staff tell you about your dog’s benefits and problems and listen to you carefully.
• Are the animals regularly monitored in the box?
• Do dogs and cats have separate boxes?
• Does the hairdresser use a hot hairdryer? (Can be dangerous)
• Can you buy animal health products from there?

Say goodbye quickly

When you enter or leave the house, try to minimize the intensity of your feelings when greeting and saying goodbye to your dog. In general, this process is an essential part of dog training. When you enter the house, don’t have fun with your puppy while sitting and calm. If you rush to love your dog, it will only make him excited. This excitement leads to inappropriate behaviours such as jumping. Behave normally. Enter the house calmly, and don’t excite your puppy as long as he’s calm. Do the same when leaving home. As you walk to the exit, say something gentle to your dog that will strengthen his heart. Do the same when you take your dog to the pet shop. If you stayed with him for the first time, give him a brief goodbye next time.

In the grooming salon, when you leave the house, they caress their heads and gently say, “I see you.” From now on, go him to the groomer. The relationship between your puppy and groomer is significant. Your puppy needs to learn to feel comfortable there. The relationship develops after a few sessions, and your dog waits for the groomer to spoil himself. 

Specify your model for the groomer

Some pet owners have some exciting ideas about the style of their first dog grooming. Tell the groomer precisely what you want and how you want your dog to be groomed. If you’re going to trim your dog’s face, tell them! If you are looking for a stylish and showy haircut, try to find a picture of your desired style and show it to the groomer. A good conversation will make everything the way you expect it to be.

It would help if you also told your groomer about any medical issues or behaviours your dog has. Tell your groomer if your dog is sensitive to touching certain parts of his body or has a special diet. Many dog owners consider complete or rotating diets for their dogs. Many grooming salons give dogs treats while grooming. So it would help if you made sure that this treat matches your dog’s diet.
