Training your dog is the STEP 1 to grooming. Dog owners often complain to me that their dogs are too wiggly during grooming. Some say, that their dogs get somewhat unruly while grooming. Does your dog do that too?

How do we groom our dog, if he does not stay still? But, have you ever thought why does your dog do like that? That’s because dogs have NO patience. They're just too "busy" or active to sit still and they will squirm and struggle to get away.

The only way you can deal with dog's squirming is through training. With patience and voice commands, you can train your dog to sit still.

Click Here to get 8 tips on training your dog to remain calm while grooming from my E-Book.

But many dog owners, sometimes, have to deal with pets that are reluctant and give them a real hard time during grooming sessions. Well, what we all seem to forget is that: like with everything else good grooming behavior needs to be instilled and won’t happen overnight.

Using positive reinforcement

This method is one of the most popular training practices as it has been used successfully in most situations. According to this method, you reward your dog for obeying or behaving the way

Copyright (c) 2007 Dog Training Institute All Rights Reserved. Page 3 http://xxxxx.dogroom.hop.clickbank.net/ you want him to and ignore him when he disobeys or behaves badly. As most dogs are food- driven, thus food is used in most positive reinforcement training.

First speak to him gently and then slowly raise your voice and add firmness if he continues to squirm around. It is true that this type of training needs a lot of patience. But, training your dog for anything, will always need time, effort and patience. But once your dog realizes that YOU will be with him if he waits till you finish, he will do exactly as you want. Why?

Because your dog gets the two most important things he craves for ... YOUR LOVE and YOUR ATTENTION. By grooming your dog yourself you can create a bonding of a lifetime with your dog.

Few months back, we had conducted a Survey on Dog grooming among our 2,31,457 subscribers. People all across the globe came up with various problems and queries they face when it comes to grooming their dogs.

Based on these survey results, our own research findings, interviews with other dog groomers, I have finally compiled and collated all the information in one single Free Report.

What is Dog Grooming All About

The practice of caring for the appearance of your canine friend for personal or showing purposes is called Grooming. Most people have the misconception that grooming is only about brushing your dog’s coat.

However, there’s more to it. Grooming your dog regularly will:

• lower allergens • reduce dander • lessen pet odor.

Needless to add, it is a good hygiene practice for your pet.

While all dog breeds require grooming, you must know that the grooming requirements vary substantially depending on the breed type, coat type and its length etc. Regular grooming can prevent many issues before they begin, like severe matting.

Training your pet to enjoy the grooming sessions is crucial to achieving success with grooming your dog at home.

Apart from brushing and bathing, grooming also means:

• clipping toenails • cleaning eyes, ears and teeth.

Trimming and clipping the coat is also an important aspect of grooming, especially, with dogs that have corded, wired or long coats. There are special tools available to perform these grooming rituals and you should know which ones you need for your dog.

Read on to find out about the 31 different dog-grooming tools and their applications.

Proper skin care is critical as most dog breeds are prone to allergies and infections. In addition to this, grooming also includes washing, hair clipping and cutting, powdering and hair styling.

Grooming is an important part of your dog’s health. Regular brushing and combing will help you to remove dead hair and dirt and prevent matting. Dogs who are regularly groomed tend to have a healthier and shinier coat because it stimulates the blood circulation.

It is important to get your dog used to grooming from an early age. Many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate petting, another source of affection and attention.

Dog Grooming Tools

The reason one should groom his/her dog is simple…your dog’s physical state influences the way he feels and the way you look at your dog.

Extreme cases, where lack of proper care, cleaning and grooming can directly affect the behavior of a dog, are not rare.

Proper grooming, not only infuses a healthy glow to your dog’s appearance, but also helps develop his self-esteem; while it makes you a very proud parent, when you show off your dog to others. Dog Grooming Inventory

A supply of good tools and equipment is required to properly groom your dog.

All dogs should have the basic supplies such as,

• Slicker Brush – This brush is used to release dirt and to pull loose hair from the your Dog coat.

• Comb – The best comb is a regulation-size steel comb with both medium and fine teeth. This comb will do a good

job on your Dog.

• Nail Clipper – Nail clippers smoothly cut out your Dog's nails

• Scissors – These types of scissors come in both large and small sizes, and some are designed for left-handed people.

• Shedding Blade – The shedding blade is used during your Dog's shedding.

Above I have mentioned only 5 tools. To know about the rest of the 26 tools, and how to use them, check out my E-Book at: http://xxxxx.dogroom.hop.clickbank.net/.

However, long coats require different grooming tools than smooth coats, wire coats, and curly coats.

So you know how crucial brushing is for your Dog's health and well-being. We all know that there is a right way and a wrong way of doing anything. And without doubt, you would like to do everything the RIGHT way when it comes to your Dog.

Yes, there's a method to follow while brushing your Dog.

Which brush to use, whether to brush with the grain or against it, how often to brush. All this and much more...

Here are 5 steps to successfully brushing your Dog that will prove to be extremely useful:

Brush against the growth of the hair first with a slicker brush and then with a medium or wide toothed comb.

The slicker brush removes all the loose hair and the comb takes care of the tangles.

Brush your Dog along the hair growth and make sure you reach the skin as you brush his way.

Then use a flea comb over the coat to get the fleas and removing any remaining tangles. Part the coat and start from the root and then comb through.

If your Dog's paw pads are hairy then clip them using electric clippers. Do not clip the hair in between the pads. Clip only the excess hair.

Brush your Dog's hairs to prevent it from matting. Matting can be a very painful experience.

Regular brushing untangles the matted hairs on your Dog's coat. Since this is a risky job to do, the best way out is to prevent them from forming in the first place.

And doing this is simple: just brush and comb your dog regularly. If and when you see any mats or tangles; use a detangle solution and a medium toothed comb.

Giving Your Dog A Proper Bath

Giving a dog a bath can be as simple as rinsing him down in a child's swimming pool in the backyard during the summer.

Or as complex as a full-blown spa ritual, complete with a bathing harness and a bevy of fancy coat products designed to whiten, darken, brighten, de-tangle, shine, and leave your dog with a designer aroma to rival a fancy French perfume.

However, there are many ways to make bathing easier, and many ways in which bathing makes subsequent grooming sessions easier, too.

To wash your dog, you will need 9 basic supplies:

• Shampoo • Conditioner • Sponge • Scrub brush • Bath mat • Hand-held sprayer (or large cup for rinsing) • Plastic apron for you to avoid getting wet • Nylon collar and leash (if your dog has a tendency to bolt away) • Heavy towel (at least 2)

The rules on how often you should bathe your dog are different from one dog to the next. Various breeds as well as various types of coats determine how often the dog should be given a bath.

For example, the Poodle should be bathed every four or six weeks.

On the other hand, the Pointer can go three or four months between baths. Other breeds which have harsh long coats, such as the Pomeranian, Samoyed, and the Norwegian Elkhound require less frequent bathing because it tends to soften the coat.

However, dogs that are kept in the house most of the time have to be bathed more frequently to keep them clean.

Bathing the dog is important in order to keep the coat and skin clean and healthy. The coat should always be brushed thoroughly before the bath. This will help to remove all dead hair and all mats from the coats of longhaired dogs.

How Often To Bathe Your Dog

Whether you should follow the routine and bathe your dog or you bathe him as often as you want are totally two different aspects. You might feel like bathing him every time he smells bad or gets dirt or filth in his coat.

But you should also know the usual time gaps to bathe your dog so that he doesn’t fall sick.

Dogs’ coats comprise of essential oils, which provide them with warmth and buoyancy. Again few dogs contain very thick oils.

Therefore when you bathe them you have to wet them twice once before applying the soap and again after applying soap so that a good lather is formed. Now you can rinse thoroughly in spite of they having really oily skin.

My E-Book contains three drying methods Click Here to grab this grooming guide.

General Care

Like humans, a dog's face, ears, eyes, teeth and paws need to be cleansed regularly. That is because these body parts contribute greatly to your dog's state of health. A dog with wax-filled ears, teary eyes or decayed teeth will not reflect good care and grooming, not to mention good health. Dog Ear Care

Whether your dog's ears are long and droopy, or short and catlike, they require attention to make sure that they stay clean and free of problems.

Ears produce wax, trap dirt, grow hair, retain moisture, and can easily develop infections when they are neglected.

Check your dog's ears every day. lf your dog is used to your handling his ears then he will be more comfortable with it when a professional groomer or vet has to examine them.

Keeping Your Dog’s Eyes Clean & Healthy Cleaning your dog’s eyes more or less depends on his type of breed. Dogs with protruding eyes and wrinkles on their face such as the Pekingese, Pug, and Boston Terrier, need to have their eyes cleaned on a regular basis.

On the other hand, other types of breeds do not require as much attention.

Get my E-Book to know five tips that will help you clean your dog's eyes better at: http://xxxxx.dogroom.hop.clickbank.net/. My E-book also talks in details about dog odor. Cleaning Your Dog's Face

Routine grooming keeps your dog's skin, coat, teeth, gums, and nails in a healthy state. It helps you detect any signs or symptoms of problems or abnormalities while it allows you to spend quality time with your pet, which helps create a special bond between you and your dog. It is, therefore, important to establish a daily or weekly grooming ritual that both you and your dog can enjoy.

If your dog refuses to be groomed, teach him to sit, stand and stay on command. In addition, grooming should always involve lots of praise and a reward for your dog. Brushing Your Dog's Teeth

Dog grooming is never complete if you do not brush your dog's teeth regularly, and that does not mean once or twice in a week. Dog experts recommend that dogs should have their teeth brushed each day. Dental problems are one of the most common medical problems in dogs.

Ignoring your dog's dental issues can give rise to tartar, cavities, and plaque that can lead to inflammation and gingivitis. If not cured, it can be very painful and can lead to loose teeth, bone loss or infection.

Dogs need their nails clipped (and some need the nails filed) on a regular basis, usually every 3 to 4 weeks. It is not uncommon for dog owners to wait too long between nail clippings.

Overdue nails raise health issues. Extended growth can result in painful ingrown nails. Elongated nails affect the comfort and health of dogs.

Some dogs will find it difficult to place their full body weight on their feet without discomfort with elongated nails. As a result these dogs develop sore feet, legs and hips and overall discomfort. Just walking can then be a painful experience for them.

Dog Shedding

Dog shedding occurs in all dogs and is a natural process of getting rid of (eliminating) dead hair. Basically, shedding takes place for two reasons: firstly, to allow a new coat to come in, and secondly, to help the dog to adapt to the seasonal changes in the temperature.

The rate of dog shedding depends on the growth rate of hair, which is based on genetics, nutrition and environment. A non-shedding dog is a myth, but in some dogs the process occurs so slowly that it may go unnoticed. Moreover, longhaired dogs may appear to shed more, but it is actually the length of their hair that creates that illusion. Difference Between Normal Shedding & Excessive Shedding

Dog owners often make a mistake when it comes to normal shedding and excessive shedding. They often misunderstand the two and as a result the dog suffers.

Normally most breeds will shed seasonally. And you shouldn’t make any effort to thwart the process. Many dog breeds possess a “double coat” which is nothing but two layers of coat called a topcoat (long "guard hairs") and an undercoat (a layer of thick, downy fuzz next to their skin under the guard hairs).

The undercoat acts as an insulator and grows thick during winters so that they shed and be discarded during spring and summer.
