Why do dogs act weird after being groomed?

But as far as our pups are concerned, they don't actually have the power to talk. So you can't seek their consent before taking them to the grooming salon. Because of this feeling of powerlessness, it is okay for your pup to feel slightly confused for the rest of the day or even a few days after his grooming session.

Is it normal for dogs to be scared of the groomers?

Dogs have more sensitive hearing than humans and the noise can cause them stress. Many groomers also use a high velocity dryer that blasts the water off the dog's coat without using heat. The pressure can be startling, and many dogs can be upset by it, especially as the groomer gets near their feet or head.

How do I relieve my dogs stress after grooming?

If a dog shows signs of stress in the kennel, ask the owner to bring the dog's favorite toy or blanket for the next appointment. Just giving a dog something loved and familiar can often help alleviate stress. Skip the blanket if a dog urinates or defecates in the kennel. Some dogs can be quite the handful when groomed.
