Tips for Working with Young Kerry Blue Terriers:
1. Start Early: Begin grooming sessions as early as possible to get your puppy used to the process. The younger they are, the easier it will be to establish a routine and help them feel comfortable with brushes, clippers, and scissors.
2. Keep Sessions Short: Puppies have short attention spans, so keep grooming sessions brief—10 to 25 minutes at a time—until they get used to it. Gradually increase the time as they grow older and more accustomed to grooming.
3. Positive Reinforcement: Use treats and praise to reward your puppy for staying calm during grooming. Positive reinforcement will help them associate grooming with good experiences.
4. Be Patient: Puppies may squirm or resist at first, so be patient and gentle. Take breaks if needed and try to maintain a calm and soothing tone to help your dog stay relaxed.
5. Introduce Grooming Gradually: If your puppy is nervous, introduce grooming tools slowly. Let them sniff and explore brushes and clippers before actually using them on their coat.
6. Socialize with Other Dogs: If possible, arrange playdates with other well-groomed dogs to help your puppy get used to the idea of grooming in a social setting.
7.Routine is Key: Establish a consistent grooming routine from the start. Regular grooming not only helps keep their coat in good condition but also builds a bond of trust between you and your dog.
