Get into a ‘grooming groove’
If you have a dog from the time it is a pup, you will likely have a better time grooming them when they are older as they would have become accustomed to the routine (the grooming groove). Taking in a rescue dog or adopting an older dog may be a bit trickier when it comes to grooming. Persevere with the process as it will benefit you both in the long run, not to mention it being essential. Try incorporating treats (and give lots of love) into the grooming process so they associate the sight of a brush and sound of clippers with good feelings.
For older dogs, sometimes even after years of grooming and understanding what is happening, they refuse to cooperate. You may also be hesitant to groom them if they are having any health problems. Be strong and remember that it needs to be done and done in the least stressful way possible. Better to keep up with the grooming routine than letting any tangles or matting develop that will be more stressful for you and your old girl or old boy to rectify.
