Safely Trim Your Pup’s Nails
You can trim your pup’s nails when you could already hear them clicking on the floors in your house. This would prevent your pup from experiencing inconvenience and discomfort from long nails.
Train Your Pup to Enjoy Grooming Sessions
A lot of dogs, particularly puppies, need positive reinforcement and encouragement when you first start a grooming routine with them.
These tricks would help the first grooming sessions at home go smoothly and easily:
Spread a little peanut butter on a washable surface and let your puppy lick it off while you wash or brush it.
Give a lot of praise and treats so your Shih Tzu would look forward to his next grooming session.
Before bathing your pup, place a slip-proof mat inside the tub to help avoid your dog from sliding around.
