Unlocking Your Puppy's Learning Potential: A Key to Grooming Success

Start Early for a Happy Pup: The Importance of Puppy Grooming

Grooming is an essential part of your puppy’s learning journey. Conditioning your pet to this experience from a young age will make it much easier on your new pet.

I recommend your puppy to have their first groom as soon as possible after they have had all their vaccinations- usually around 12 – 14 weeks and follow up with 2 or 3 weekly appointments for at least their first 4 grooming sessions, ideally monthly for the remainder of their first year.  

While puppies don’t usually require clipping in those early months, the earlier they are introduced to the grooming environment the better. The critical learning period for dogs is between 8-16 weeks of age, where many experiences within that time frame become a learned habit.

Tips for new puppy parents

Brush your puppy daily or every other day- from the tip of their nose to the end of their tail and down their legs over their paws, to avoid painful knots and tangles. These are some of the ways you can handle your puppy to ensure they become desensitized to grooming, and form a strong bond with you (plus they love the attention):

  • Touch and play with their feet. This prepares them for nail trims and paw tidies.

  • Gently hold the hair under their chin while brushing their face and cleaning their eyes. This prepares them for facial trims.

  • Prepare them to have their muzzle handled by checking their teeth and gums.

  • Check their ears for debris in preparation for ear cleaning.

Incorporating these grooming practices into your daily routine is essential for new puppy parents. These simple tips will keep your pup comfortable and tangle-free but also strengthen the bond between you and your furry friend.
