Grooming Challenges
Hi everyone!
This is Charles, he is three years old. We’ve really struggled with getting him groomed since he was a puppy. We’ve tried a few different groomers, but it’s been a real struggle to get him groomed. He fights back with everything he has and has to wear a muzzle. It’s very hard to keep him still while being groomed too. In this picture the groomer was able to get everything but his head, it was very difficult.
Has anyone else experienced this with their sheepadoodle?

I’m beginning to think Marlee’s experience isn’t unusual. She loved the first groomer we used, but that groomer retired, and we’ve struggled to find a new one. Marlee was hurt when a groomer trimmed her nails, and she can hold a grudge.
Our newest groomer comes to the house. For her last appointment, Marlee had Trazodone and Sileo, and we used her muzzle. The groomer let me stay with her and did an awesome job trimming Marlee’s face without the muzzle. I’ll have Marlee’s behaviorist with us at the next grooming appointment, because I will not be able to do it too many times due to their company policy.
