Some dogs are naturally more cooperative than others, but you can teach your dog to enjoy grooming with a bit of training and practice.
Indeed, grooming your dog can be a stressful and painful experience for you and your dog.
But with these tips and facts, we're going to show you how easy it can be.
Four Tips For Grooming Your Dog
Start young.
Try to get your puppy used to being groomed as soon as possible, and continue working on the process throughout its life. If you start when the dog is young, they'll be more likely to enjoy the experience and not try to get away from you when it comes time for a bath!
Keep it calm.
Try using treats or toys when grooming your dog, so they associate something good with being handled by humans (you). This will make things easier when it comes time to bathe them because they'll be more interested in what's going on rather than trying to run away from it altogether!
Use positive reinforcement techniques whenever possible.
This means rewarding good behavior rather than punishing bad behavior (like hitting). Remember that hitting an animal can cause lasting damage physically and emotionally; instead, use positive reinforcements like treats or praise whenever possible because they'll learn much faster that way!
Be patient.
It might take some time before your puppy gets used to being brushed or combed by hand every day, but you'll soon see results with patience and persistence!
