A Guide to a Perfect All-Breed Dog Grooming



One of the most exciting experiences in dog owning is when you have to spend time making

your dog look great. However, for some, dog grooming is a daunting task. Imagine you have

to cut, trim, bathe, nail cut, and brush the dog. You don’t even have the time to do them on

yourself! Well, people who treat dog grooming this way are certainly those who do not take

responsibility for their pet. Of course you are not one of these people, are you not?

To be able to keep your dog in its perfect and groomed condition, the following are some

helpful guides you should consider:

Understand – If you previously owned a Labrador and shifted to a Tibetan Terrier, then you

have to realize that you need to do some grooming routine. Why? Because different dogs

require different grooming techniques. What you should do is to understand the breed of your

dog. Learn about its history and characteristics. Then, you should be able to know from this

information the proper grooming techniques you should do as well as the right living

environment it deserves. 

Prepare – There are certain breeds that require frequent grooming. There are some breeds


that require a once a month bathing. There are some breeds that require everyday coat brushing.

These things must be anticipated. There is no better way to fail your dog grooming by not

preparing for it. From this important information, you should be able to plan, prepare, and

allocate a time where you can bring your dog to a dog grooming shop. Or, make a schedule

on when to groom your dog on your own.

Invest – Taking care of a dog can be comparable to taking care of a baby (of course you get

4 legs instead of 2 among lots of other things). You need to provide full attention during the

first months and constant care in the following years. Along with this is the fact that you should

invest in tools and dog supplies that your dog needs to maintain a healthy living. Tools such as

toenail clippers, brushes, combs, dematting tools, dryers, shampoo and conditioner, flea

removal and dog food among other things. Allocating a budget and investing on these things is

very important in dog grooming and keeping your dog healthy.

Learn – Grooming your dog does not stop once you follow the things given above, you should

improve your knowledge about your dog and try to learn more things and techniques on how

to properly groom your dog. You can buy books or read articles about how to groom your dog.  

Groom – After you have understood your dog, prepared yourself, invested in the tools and

supplies you need, and learned more about the particular grooming requirement of your dog,

then, it is time for you to do some dog grooming.

All these constitute one thing: taking good care of your dog. You have to remember that the

characteristic of the owner can manifest on the way the dog is groomed. Many would agree to

this.

And you should be as well. If you see a dog with mats everywhere, you often regard the owner

of that dog to be irresponsible, right? So better make sure that you give proper care for your dog

at the same time, be mindful of the things that are needed to keep your dog in good shape.

Many people want to start dog training right away, because the puppy might be doing things that are less than desirable or they think it is a great way to bond with their new puppy. But your young dog should have some freedom until it's about 4 to 6 months old before getting into formal dog training. But that doesn't mean you are not starting some form of training. Now, just because you're not formally training your dog does not mean you shouldn't make an effort to start early puppy training with simple lessons like how to behave around other people. It's important to buy a well-fitting collar and leash, then use them when you're out in public places. This is for both other peoples benefit as well as your own. You wouldn't want your puppy to suddenly run out into the middle of a busy street. In fact you might find that there is a leash law in your city that prohibits letting any dog to run free including puppies and when you go to a park or other public plac...
