Dog Separation Anxiety Solutions For Your Stressed Out
                     How To Keep a Dog Calm While 
Grooming
Make Them Familiar with the 
Grooming Shop and Everything in 
it
Sometimes the reason why your dog doesn’t like being groomed is because everything there seems 
unfamiliar to them, causing them to feel a bit stressed out. You can easily avoid this by taking your dog 
there when it’s not grooming time. Bring them in and let them sniff everything and everyone. If they’re 
progressing well, try to lift them on the grooming tools or show them the tools they use.
Reward Good Behaviour
Whenever your dog behaves well or does something you would want them to do, don’t forget to reward 
them. Verbal rewards and touch rewards will do the trick just fine. If they do something that used to be 
very difficult for them, then you should reward them with a treat so that they know you encourage them 
overcoming their fears or anxiety.
  Don’t Drive a Car to the Grooming Shop
Some dogs love driving in cars, others hate it, but either way, you shouldn’t take your dog to the groomer 
with a car. The reason for that is actually pretty simple. If the dog hates driving, they will enter the 
grooming place already frightened which will further increase their anxiety, leading to them refusing to be 
groomed.
