When to Start Grooming Your Dog: The Best Age to Begin

[jhoncarter1801]

You can start grooming a dog as early as 8 to 12 weeks old. Beginning grooming at a young age helps puppies become comfortable with the process, including handling, bathing, and nail trimming. Early grooming experiences are essential for helping dogs develop positive associations with being groomed. Many experts, including those at a dog grooming school, recommend starting with gentle, brief grooming sessions to build the dog’s tolerance and trust. This early introduction can make grooming a stress-free experience as the dog grows.
