GROOM your LGD’s!!! I’m not perfect, I didn’t do it for the first couple years of owning our dog until I realized the importance of it. You see people all over the internet getting them and leaving them outside and never having them “leave” the farm so you just assume that grooming is not a thing for them, at least that’s what I thought. I never saw anyone getting theirs groomed. But an animal that has this type of fur coat needs it, and they need a professional groomer. Not to mention that their rear end gets pretty disgusting if not properly kept up. With all that hair and dirt it gets matted and nasty. Louie NEVER gets shaved (besides his rear). Soon as I start to see him losing his winter coat I send him to get a groom sesh and de-shedded and de-matted. Depending on how bad his matting gets he may have up to 3 sessions annually, but only one de-shedding as their undercoat is so important.
Leash training co-exists with grooming. Without proper leash training how do you convince your dog to go anywhere?
Abby got to meet the groomers today. We will slowly get her use to them and eventually she’ll have her own spa day as well. She missed Louie today and cried for him a few times. But all is well now that our big Forest Polar Bear is back home 😂 Now go get your dog groomed for the summer!! 😆☀️🥵🔥🐶🌭
