Hi, I have lhasa Apso who does the same thing but once they are used to it, it becomes a normal thing for them.

Yea It depends on the way we grow our puppies, the way they Listen to your words, the trust they have on you, it's not that stressful but just they need to get habituated for that grooming sessions too when they r soo small we need to take them to the grooming nd get trimmed so that they loose the fear of grooming In summers it is must to groom Shih tzu's fur so yea slowly they gets habituated to that nd doesn't face any issues when they come to the age of 1 or 2 You can divert him by giving treatos Or his or her fav food and by cuddles by pampering Give him/her some time to get habituated to the grooming is what all I say!! I hope this info is helpful to your shih tzu

ooh ok Sudhakshina

Mine is 6 month old so I think it's better to take him at this age to get him used to it

Yess, Take him nd have a little trim near his eyes paw nd where ever it's necessary

Thanks Rishita it was a clear answer I'll follow these steps when I take him for his first grooming

So glad that it was helpful 💙

For many dogs/pups who are uncomfortable with body manipulation, the dog grooming experience can be a stressful one. A nervous or fearful dog who doesn't like to be touched makes the job that much more challenging for your groomer and that much more unpleasant for your dog.. And Dear I think you experienced this...???

Dogs can become fearful of other dogs that are also there for a grooming even when dogs are kept separate. 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.

When we groom him he's is not scared but my aunt's Shih Tzu was shivering when they took him to the groomer And they had to stay by her( lilo) side in the whole session But when they groomed her at she was more comfortable

Oh Yes Kajal i think thats the reason Yes dryers are so loud at grooming parlours and other grooming sessions will also be happening at the same time

Thanks Kajal 👍🏻

It's alright dear 👍🏻
