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.

Some groomers use grooming nooses. If and when the dog is particularly wiggly, restraints may be used both around the neck and the hindquarters.

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.
