Here are some tips and general information on how to prepare your dog for a lifetime of happy grooming sessions, at home and at the groomers! Not all dogs enjoy the process of being groomed, either by their owner or the groomer. With some forward planning, an early introduction to grooming and positive handling methods most dogs can learn to accept it as part of their daily routine, and you never know even enjoy it!
The world of dog grooming is forever changing, be it equipment and products, legal requirements and Dog Laws or all the different styles and techniques groomers need to learn for all the different breeds. Add to this the training we need in correct and safe handling of dogs, first aid and an understanding of canine behaviour.
