Puppies who are gently handled every day grow into confident adults at the salon. Dogs who never had that early exposure often find grooming stressful, even when nothing scary is happening. The difference is huge, both for them and for the people grooming them.
A few minutes a day is enough. Play with their paws, touch their ears, lift their lips like you're checking teeth, brush for a few seconds, and let them hear the dryer from across the room. Reward calm behavior every time.
Bring your puppy in for a happy visit before their first full groom. We will take it slow, keep it positive, and help build the foundation for a lifetime of easy appointments.
