Don\u2019t throw in the towel right away \u2013 stay calm and strategize how you can groom the dog while keeping both of you safe. You studied this in your dog grooming course; now it\u2019s time to put it to the test!<\/p>\n<p>Keep in mind that when a dog enters your salon and is away from his owner, he might be prone to acting up. He could feel anxious and or scared, and that can affect the way he acts. As long as you stay relaxed, you can stay in control of the groom. Use a low, soothing voice and move slowly. Ease the dog into any movement or touch.<\/p>\n<p>If he\u2019s really acting up after you\u2019ve spent a fair amount of time with him, it might be best to put the groom on hold. Experienced groomers can work through a difficult groom, but it\u2019s often difficult and stressful. When you\u2019re fresh out of your grooming course, you may feel more comfortable ending the groom early. You don\u2019t want to end up in a sticky situation![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Positive_Conditioning\"><\/span>Use Positive Conditioning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you\u2019re working with a difficult dog, the best approach is the reward\/ignore strategy. This means you\u2019ll reward a dog\u2019s good behavior, and simply ignore the bad. If a dog is listening and sitting calmly for you to groom him, be sure to praise him by giving him treats and patting him gently. He\u2019ll be inclined to behave well since he knows he\u2019ll get something good in return!<\/p>\n<p>If your furry friend starts acting up, try to ignore the bad behaviors (when you can!). It can help condition him by taking away the attention he gets when he is good. This can be a tricky technique, because some dogs will not tune into the \u201cignore\u201d aspect. Try out a few different techniques and see what works with each dog.<\/p>\n<p>However, if the dog begins to get aggressive, you\u2019ll need to change your approach.
