Groomers might cover an aggressive dog's face with a towel while moving the dog. Aggressive dogs are restrained with a loop and most groomers have muzzles on hand for the toughest dogs. Neither of these devices will hurt your dog. Both ensure your dog stays on the table during the groom for her own safety.

That's where grooming restraints come into play. The grooming noose, for instance, is a valuable tool. It is attached to a tall metal bar shaped like an upside-down "L" and works by restraining the dog around its neck, ensuring it remains still on the grooming table.

A6: In our opinion, the hardest part about dog grooming is the physicality of it. You'll need to be able to stand, move around, and lift both animals and equipment for long periods of time. Additionally, some breeds or temperaments may require more skill than others.

ever wondered how groomers make dogs so soft? Well, they use gentle shampoos and conditioners that are made just for dogs. After a good bath, they brush out any tangles and mats, then blow-dry the fur on a low heat setting to fluff it up. Sometimes they use special finishing products to add extra softness and shine.
