Having to brush your teeth every morning, bathe, shave, clip your nails and have your hair cut can be referred to as ‘grooming’, a process that makes us feel clean and fresh. Dogs feel the same way. We will introduce you to the basics of dog grooming, its history, importance and the risks that exist when you don't care for dogs correctly. Understand what a pre-grooming assessment is, its significance and how to carry one out to identify the abnormalities in dogs before grooming. Where you should brush a dog is crucial in ensuring a safe and easy-to-clean experience for your dog. We demonstrate where you should groom them, the advantages of bathing them indoors versus outdoors and the basic requirements to doing this process correctly. Following that, you will learn about the tools and how to use them.
Brushing dogs helps ventilate their coat, enables it to grow healthy and strong, removes old hair and sometimes serves as a soothing massage. We cover the techniques of brushing, combing, de-matting, de-shedding and how to make dogs enjoy the process. Next, research how to deal with grooming emergencies such as gum in the hair, getting sprayed by skunks or snakes or grass awns. We will review popular myths about dogs and grooming misconceptions.
