Dog Grooming Issue? at home? Help…please?20 pts (explains in details)?
My dog does not like for you to trim the hair from her two front legs. She keeps jerking them away from you when ever you try to. I need to find a way to get her to stop or atleast calm down. We are extremely gentle with her as it is (she is only a 4 lbs Toy Poodle; supposed to be a teacup, was slightly larger). I need help? ***We reward her for good behavior…*****20 pts if you have a best answer (this question and my previous one)
Please answer my previous one: Dog Grooming Problem at home? Help?
when i start a new training class we spend most of the first lesson learning about de-sensitizing the dog.
while everyone is correct about touching the legs and feet as much as possible, this is not where you should start. especially if she doesn’t like being touched there. it will only excite and upset her if you start on the legs.
what you want to do is:
every night before bed, or after she has had a very long walk, or is just plain tired, pick her up into your lap and rub the base of her ears (both ears at the same time). this releases endorphines into the system to keep her calm. i usually do the ears for 5-10 minutes. once she is relaxed slowly work your way down to her forehead, snout, and even gently work your fingers into her mouth and rub her gums. if she gets upset at all here go back to the ears and start over.
once you can get through the head areas work down her neck. rub in between her front legs and slowly down them. rub the feet as a whole and then in between each pad area (toes, etc). rub down and then back up. then work your way down her torso. most dogs like to be pet on their backs and stomachs so this one doesn’t generally require much detail. but keep it slow and gentle.
when you reach the back end do the same thing you did with her front legs. rub down around her butt (this is important, because it will help when her anal glands need to be expressed) and down each leg. in between toes etc.
and don’t forget the tail.
it only took a week to get my rescued girl de-sensitized this way. you can do it multiple times per day. just whenever you feel like it or she looks tired. and when the process is done give her a treat. she will look forward to it. i’ve had both my dogs for over a year and we still do it every night. it’s good stimulation for the muscles and the hair folacles.
as for the clipper issue. turn them on some time when you are doing this (after she gets used to it) and gradually bring them closer to her. give her treats for every step she takes calmly. if she isn’t calm don’t coddle her simply scoot the clippers a little further away.
then when she lets them be right next to her, hold them in your hand. move them around and give her treats if she stays calm. any fear or excitement means you backtrack a little. holding them and giving her treats while you do shows her you are in control of the noisy thing, and the treats tell her she’s doing well and that it is okay. also petting her with the empty hand while you are holding the clippers in the other will help her to see that you are in complete control.
when you think she is ready shave a very little spot and give her a treat. put the clippers down and love on her if she did well. and repeat this until you have the whole areas done.
If you are using Scissors do it exactly the same, but instead of turning it on (because that’s impossible, lol) open and close them. if they make noise make them make the noise and treat her if she doesn’t freak out, if she does, back up a step.
the first few times she may end up looking like she was butchered, but it is well worth it when your dog looks forward to being groomed.
and make sure you keep a can of Cool Lube on hand. every couple of strokes touch the blades to your arm, if they feel even slightly warm spray them with the cool lube. the best one i’ve used is made by Oster. also, if you bought one of the kits that has a little of everything in it there is a good chance the blades may be pulling her hair. i would invest the money in a good pair of Oster clippers. the Turbo and Golden models are wonderful. pricey but wonderful. and they pay for themselves in the first couple of grooms. i’ve tried the other brands and talked to most of the local groomers out here, and oster is what everyone recommends. they last for a good 10-15 years if you care for them correctly.
hope this helped!
