Exploring The World Of Pet Grooming

Hi there, my name is Wendell Dietrich. I'd love to use this site to explore the wide world of pet grooming. My first dog was a small mutt with a long, shaggy coat. My parents didn't know about the different types of grooming available, so we would just shave him down twice a year. Our poor dog showed his disgust for his shaved haircut by hiding behind the couch for an hour after each grooming session. My mom finally decided to take our pup into the groomer for a real haircut. Our pup pranced around the house proudly showing off his new hairdo after that appointment, so we never went back to a simple shave. On this site, I will share different ways you can groom your pup to help avoid a shaved hairdo they hate. I will also discuss the tools and techniques used for pet grooming.
