Getting a puppy ready for their first groom

The first groom sets the tone for every one after it. A puppy who has already been handled at home walks in curious instead of worried.

The two-week routine

Touch the paws, lift the ears, run a soft brush over the back and hold a buzzing electric toothbrush near the feet. Short sessions, lots of treats, always stop before your puppy wants to.

On the day

Skip breakfast treats, take a short walk before you come in and keep goodbyes brief. We’ll send you a photo as soon as they’re settled.
