Dogs raised by families themselves, especially those raised from a young age, are generally willing to let their owners groom them, and some especially like to do so. However, there are some dogs that have not been groomed since childhood, or have not been groomed by their original owners. When the new owner grooms the dog, the dog will subconsciously resist and even bite you when grooming the abdomen or the area near the head, making it impossible for you to continue grooming.

To improve this situation, try to use a gentle tone of voice when you groom your dog. If the dog is reluctant to resist grooming, do not reprimand him, but stroke him in other ways to remove his wariness, and gently praise and stroke him while continuing to groom him, and he will gradually adapt. You can also groom him every day before breakfast, and then feed him after grooming, so that he will have the conditioned reflex to eat only after grooming, and then he may accept grooming more easily. For dogs that are really disobedient, to prevent them from biting during grooming, tie the dog’s mouth up before grooming. It is best to use gauze strips to tie the mouth, as they are softer and will not hurt the dog’s mouth. Use gauze strips to make a loop from the dog’s nose to the jaw, tie a knot, and then go around to the back of the neck and tie it tightly. After tying a few times, the dog gradually adapted to combing the coat, it will change the bad habit of not allowing combing.
