My dog gets really anxious during grooming sessions, making it a stressful experience for both of us. Any advice on how to make grooming more comfortable and less scary for my pup? β
Hey! Try gradually desensitizing your dog to grooming tools with treats and positive reinforcement, and consider shorter, more frequent sessions to build up comfortβalso, playing calming music can work wonders! πΆβοΈπΆ
I've had success with using a calming pheromone spray in the grooming area to help relax my nervous dog. It creates a more soothing environment for both of us hehe
