How do you calm a dog who hates being groomed?

Get your dog used to being handled. Work with your dog at home to get him used to being handled before you take him to the groomer. Pair a predictor word, like “ears,” with a gentle touch on that specific area; reward your dog with a treat during or immediately after giving the cue and handling the area.

How can I sedate my dog for grooming?
