Does Your Dog Put Up A Fight When Being Groomed?
When grooming your dog, it is important for you to be firm but gentle at the same time. Being firm with your dog does not mean being harsh, but to let the dog know who the leader of the pack is. Most dogs respond to simple commands such as sit and stay.
In addition, dogs respond to firm commands that are given in a gentle voice. In this way the dog knows that you are in control and that he will be treated kindly, which is the important part in grooming. Once the dog has been frightened by shouting and harsh treatment, it is very difficult to reassure him that he is not going to be frightened again.
If a dog becomes a real problem and does not respond to the handling of a groomer or his owner, he should be taken to an obedience trainer for further instruction. There will always be some dogs that you will be difficult to groom for disciplinary reasons. If a dog is a ”biter,” he should be groomed by a vet who can administer a sedative. Dogs should be started on a regular grooming routine from puppy hood so that he can become accustomed to the process.
