The five great tips to brushing your dog:

1. Ensure you have a steady and non-slip worktop or table. A rubber bath mat placed on a firm table will do. 2. Make sure that the dog knows that this is the place to be groomed. Its’ best to start our as a puppy with regular short sessions.
3. Make this an enjoyable and pleasurable experience (for both of you) but not a game.
4. The dog must learn through repetition, correction and praise. And again, make it enjoyable.
5. Always reward the dog after a groom, either by treat or physical attention or throwing a ball or playing fetch.
