2. Distract your dog while grooming
If your dog is always anxious about grooming, you should learn the art of distraction! Get dog treats or toys ready and start gently brushing or washing your dog; your dog will be distracted by the treats, and guess who’s going to groom their dog despite their constant movement in the hope of getting closer to the treats! Just be careful with any scissors if you’re trimming your dog’s fur, those are dangerous! So make sure that your dog is calm before handling scissors. But keep in mind that it is important to be gentle while grooming your dog and generous with treats once you finish — your dog will beg you to groom them!
