Why does my dog hate the groomer?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

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.


What do you do if your dog hates the groomer?

If your dog is petrified of the groomer, try anxiety-relieving alternatives like antislip mats, noise-blocking products and quiet clippers. My childhood dog, a Wire Fox Terrier named Scooter, was terrified of the groomer. Her anxiety started on the drive over and continued through her entire grooming session.

Why does my dog freak out at the groomers?
