Here are tips on how to make grooming a fun and enjoyable time for your dog: Start early. It’s best to train them while they’re young. If you adopted an older dog who wasn’t trained for grooming, it’s never too late to start training. Sit or stand your dog in a comfortable spot. Run your fingers through his fur.

It shouldn’t take long before your dog realizes that grooming is not a bad time after all. Don’t give yourself a hard time. Find a suitable place for your pup or dog to sit or stand on while you brush his/her coat. Make sure that it would be the same spot for grooming even ...
