Just as humans require good grooming habits, so do our dogs. Besides being a healthy habit for our dogs, grooming is an important part of the relationship we have with them. Regular grooming sessions are beneficial because they:

allow you and your dog to have quiet time together.

promote your dog’s good health in terms of his coat, skin, feet, ears, teeth, etc.

allow you to become very familiar with all parts of your dog’s body and you’ll notice early on anything unusual that may require veterinary attention.

promote good health for both humans and puppies – this type of interaction can actually lower stress levels and reduce blood pressure for both you and puppy.

When you and your puppy are learning how to groom, come armed with a great attitude, lots of patience, and in the beginning, lots of treats. Always start slowly and add more as your puppy accepts what you’re doing. If you start getting frustrated, stop and come back to it later. Remember to keep it positive and fun.

Consulting a professional groomer is important for owners of dogs needing to be clipped or trimmed on a regular basis.
