Your Puppies First Groom

           A Puppy’s first visit to a groomer should be a pleasant time for the little one. Here are some things you can do to make that first visit easier on everyone involved:                  

Good grooming begins at home. Start the pups first session about 20 minutes after a meal. The puppy will settle down at this time and is possibly a bit sleepy.

Use a soft brush and comb. Don’t be surprised if the puppy wiggles about. Don’t give in when this happens, just slow your hand motions and when he stops fussing, praise him and quit for a while, returning to it later. If there are still problems after a few sessions consult with a groomer or vet about handling techniques.

If you bathe the puppy at home, be sure there are no knots in the hair coat before you begin. Knots tighten as they dry making them more difficult to remove. If you find knots that are too tough to remove gently with a comb, visit your groomer. Do not use scissors to cut the knot out- a tight knot can actually pull skin into the knot and you might cut the skin.

During these sessions, gently handle the feet, toes, ears and tail areas. The puppy will accept this handling as bonding and allow it as a matter of course from the groomer.
