My Nando is very nervous of the groomers after an experience with one which handled him much too roughly (in front of my eyes so god knows what happened when I wasn't there!) He is quite a sensitive dog and very vocal. Anyway, today he had an appointment with a new groomer that was recommended to me. He is usually a quivering wreck when inside a vets surgery and as such hasn't been to the groomers since the first incident as in his mind they are one and the same. After I dropped him off this time (the groomer met me outside and met him as though we had just bumped into her on a walk) I had given her my mobile to call me if I needed to come and get him ASAP.

This particular groomer uses Tellington Touch and the difference in him was amazing! He came back calm, relaxed and confident. I am so proud of him (and the groomer) and astounded that it has such a good effect on a dog's behaviour. When I picked him up he was on the floor with the groomer who was making a big fuss of him!

Well done Nando, and well done that groomer, she sounds like a major find!! :-)

I have been aware of her, and the fact she uses Ttouch, for ages but he's never needed grooming until now and she was a natural choice. Honestly, I was so impressed and Nando was so relaxed afterwards. I cannot believe the difference it has made to him and I am now looking at Tellington Ttouch courses for myself to go on to learn some of the basics.

thats great new! what a good boy.

A groomers have opened up just down the road, pooped in to an ear clean just to get fay on the table and being touched and she seems to actualy like this stranger.
