How do I prepare my dog for grooming?
It's best to prepare your dog for the groomer's drop-off requests, or for your convenience, so you can tend to other tasks, by having some separation time before the grooming appointment. For an hour or so, a few times before the grooming visit, leave your dog with friends or family and take off for a bit.
When grooming a dog what do you do first?
Getting Started
On the big day, when the puppy first arrives to be groomed, groomers should start by slowly introducing themselves to the little one by speaking in a soft, soothing voice, petting and cuddling the puppy and playing with them for a bit.
What happens during pet grooming?
A professional grooming session typically consists of the dog being brushed, bathed, and dried, as well as trimmed or clipped with clean, sanitized brushes and clipper blades. Groomers brush or comb out mats before the bath, making it easier to lather the dog with shampoo.
Should I feed my dog before grooming?
Is it O.K. to feed my dog before bringing him for dog grooming? NO! It is not necessary and is recommended not to feed your pet the day of and the night before their grooming appointment. Grooming no matter how many times your pet has been groomed is still very stressful to your pet.
Do you bathe a dog before or after grooming?
Wash the dog. Give your dog a bath and let him dry thoroughly before you clip him. Avoid clipping a dirty dog if at all possible. The dirt will clog the clippers and make your job difficult.
What is grooming behavior?

When should you groom your dog?
We recommend brushing at least 1-3 times a week and bathing at least every 1-2 months. Any grooming should mostly be light trims around the face, ears, paws, and sanitary areas every 4-6 weeks. Typically, wire-haired dogs should not be shaved down as their coat may grow back softer and a different color.
When should my dog get his first grooming?
Once you've successfully acclimated your pup to all-around handling, at or around the 10-12 week mark, you can take her in for the first grooming session (often after the second round of shots). At the latest, the first grooming is recommended before 16-weeks of age.

Get them used to as many sights and sounds as possible. Turn on a blow dryer so she can hear the sound then give her a treat. Hold up a pair of nail trimmers next to her paws without clipping—then give her a treat. It might seem excessive, but for a nervous dog, this will help.
