Grooming
Your Pet-It Doesn't Have to be Difficult.
 Their are pet
owners who will not groom their pets because whenever
they try the experience turns into a bad experience that leaves both
the pet and the owner with strained nerves and shaken confidence. Some
of these pet owners, knowing that their pet is in desperate need of a
good grooming, bring their pets to a professional pet groomer, hoping
that the groomer knows some magic trick that will make their unruly pet
behave. Most of these pet owners are devastated when they return to the
groomers to pick up their pet and find out that the best the groomer
was able to do was a partial job, they send the pet home half clipped
and uncombed, telling the owner that the pet is their responsibility.
The hard truth is that some pets really don't like to be groomed. Dogs,
who are perfectly happy to splash in mud puddles and swim in rivers,
develop an unreasonable fear of water when their owner starts to unroll
a hose. Cats who are happy to spend the entire day being stroked by
their human, turn into shrieking banshees when that same owner picks up
a brush.
The first thing a pet owner has to understand is that if they brush or
bath their pet at home, there is absolutely no way a pet groomer is
going to be able to. Professional groomers are people who know how to
make a pet look good, they aren't animal trainers. Pet owners shouldn't
expect them to turn into trainers when they drop their pet off at the
pet groomers.
The easiest way to teach your pet that grooming is a pleasurable
experience is to start grooming them when they are very young. Sure
puppies and kittens squirm around a lot, and grooming them will be
difficult, but they are still small. They are a lot easier to hold onto
know then they will be a year or two down the road. And remember, part
of the reason they are squirming and wiggling around is because they
are so happy to be with you. If you start brushing their coats and
washing their eats now, they will start to associate those activities
with one on one time.
Make sure that you spend some time handling and cleaning your pets
ears. The more their ears get handled at a young age the easier it will
be for your veterinarian to inspect and treat any ear infections your
pet might develop later in life.
Dog and cat owners all know that trimming their pets nails can be a
monstrous engagement. Although you shouldn't have to trim the nails of
your new puppy or kitten, you can make play with their feet and start
getting them accustomed to the feel of your fingers against their paws.
This will make your life easier down the road.
When your grooming process is complete reward your young pet with
treats and play time. It won't be very long before they learn that
sitting still through the grooming process means that they will get to
the fun stuff faster.
If you are having a bad day, avoid grooming your pet. They will pick up
on your negative energy and be uncomfortable being trapped on your lap.
Instead of grooming, spend the time playing a game with your puppy or
kitten. They won't feel trapped and will still have your undivided
attention which will make them happy, and you will find that watching
them play will have a therapeutic effect on your mental health.
Make each and every grooming session a positive experience for both you
and your new pet.
