Start Grooming Early
- 27/09/2010
Grooming should be started immediately in order to ensure that you know your dog's body and can spot any potential health problems, and to make the dog realize that he must tolerate grooming.
1. Each day during the first week, run a soft brush over his back and down his sides.
2. During the second week, comb out mats and get the comb down to the skin on the back and sides.
3. The third week, start working on the chest, tummy, tail and legs.
4. The fourth week, start on nails, teeth and baths.
5. Try to groom at the same time each morning or night, even if only for a few minutes. Your new dog will come to enjoy it, and the grooming will help the bonding process as well as establish dominance. It will also make the dog look and feel good!
6. Consult your breeder or a good groomer to find out how to groom your particular breed. Make sure he covers coat care, ear care, nail care and mouth care.
