Throughout the course, we share valuable tips and techniques to help you manage an anxious or uncooperative pet during grooming. We understand that each dog is unique, and our guidance will empower you to create a calm and comfortable grooming experience for your furry friend.

Puppies, or dogs that have never been groomed before, may require a slower paced grooming session with special techniques. I will be producing another course specifically for a pets first grooming experience.
