How do dogs stay still while being groomed?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

Some dogs will quiet down with a towel placed over their eyes or heads; groomers may use that trick to calm down an anxious dog. Groomers also sometimes use a second tether tied around the dog's waist, or looped under one front leg to keep the dog still. Some will resort to bribery, with the owner's permission.


How do groomers restrain dogs?

Most grooming restraints have an adjustable metal bar over your dog's head, with a leash-like loop to retrain the neck. Other designs have an additional loop on the rear side to keep the hindquarters well-centered and stop your dog from jumping off the table.

How can I calm my dog down for grooming?

She suggests taking your dog for a long, relaxing walk right before the appointment (and make sure they pee!), and giving your dog some calming cookies, as these can really help pups with anxiety about grooming. The tone of voice you use with your dog when you're discussing grooming with them is also key.
