Are you asking yourself the same question - How long does it take to groom my dog? Or you have just completed a course or are currently doing some short term dog grooming on your own and are wondering what the minimum time for grooming is. Here is a basic outline of dog grooming times:
Professional dog grooming requires two weeks of training (three weeks is best) and costs between one hundred and fifty dollars and one thousand dollars depending on the type of groomer. This will include training, marketing, supplies, and of course, the dog grooming chair or area where the dog will be cleaned.
Shampooing can be done one week before the dog grooming session begins or when the dog is present. When the dog is present means on-line or off-line. On-line means that the dog will be shaved using the hair dryer.
Hair trimming, trims, and cuts can all be done one week before the groom date. Trimming involves cutting the dog's hair using a blunt or sharp blade. This includes clipping the tip and trimming down the length of the hair. Trimming includes cutting the facial hair and also the under belly hair.
Once the hair has been trimmed only then can the dog be bathed and washed and the bath can be done one week before the dog grooming session. Once the dog has been cleaned and shampooed the next step is the shaving of the dog's head and beards.
Once the dog has been bathed and groomed, the next step is to provide the dog with a cotton towel for the dog to sit on. A wet towel is handy for bathing but wet towels will shrink over time, this will allow the dog to move around easier and sniff better. It is a good idea to take a picture of the dog and put a good quality picture of a dog on the damp towel and then place a large portrait of a dog on top of the picture.
The next step is to clean the dog before the dog grooming session begins. Cleaning the dog's ears and nails. The ears should be clean and the nails have to be in good shape for it to be cleaned.
After the dog has been properly washed the next step is to spray it with the shampoo and rinse it off. After rinsing, the dog should be dried up completely and the ear nails should be very clean.
Then the dog should be brushed and the dog can be dried up. This is one step of dog grooming that might be overlooked. You do not want to accidentally cause a skin rash or infection by cleaning the dog in a manner that does not allow the dog to breathe and get dry skin on its feet and skin on its face.
The last step of dog grooming is clipping the dog's nails. After the nails are clipped the dog's ear nails should be clean.
After clipping the dog's nails, it is a good idea to give the dog a bath. You should also give the dog a bath after it has been groomed. Make sure the dog is completely dry before giving it a bath.
To conclude the day of dog grooming, give the dog a treat can be a treat from the groomer. Treats are also good after the groomer has completed their work. The next step after the dog has been groomed is to provide the dog with a comfortable place to rest for the night.
