Tips for puppy's first grooming session

The ideal time to start grooming puppy is after he has had all of his puppy shots. He should be no more than 16 weeks old. Don’t make the mistake of waiting until puppy is 6 months of age or older. You want your puppy to remember his first experience at the dog groomers to be an enjoyable one.

The sooner you familiarise puppy with being groomed, the more comfortable your puppy will be during this time.
Puppy should see this time as a fun time. A pamper time. Get him used to you touching his feet and between his toes so that when it’s time to clip, it will make things easier.

Let him explore the brush and comb before you brush his coat. Praise him and give him a small treat after brushing. It will make him associate grooming time as a pampering treat time and not something he becomes to dread.

Play with your puppy’s ears by touching them on the inside and outside. Always reward him after. The same goes for puppy’s teeth and gums. Dental care should begin as early as possible.

Getting puppy used to all of these points will make the grooming experience stress free and he’ll see it as a treat rather than something he dreads.

 Regular brushing and combing
 Checking around the eyes
 Cleaning around the mouth
 Touching feet and paw pads
 Checking teeth and gums

The first session should be kept short and sweet.
 Bath time
 Light brush out
 Nail Trim (tips)
 Ear Cleaning
 Light trim where needed including around the face

After two or three sessions, your puppy should become comfortable with the grooming process and start to see it as a pamper session.
