Chickentrain's Dog Q&A

[black_cat]

He hasn't been professionally groomed- he definitely objects to the hair dryer, and a bath not a home is scary. We're thinking that we'll send him to get groomed a few times (no fancy scissoring, just bath, blowdry, nails, and feet) so that he can get used to the process and then I can do it.

Another thing that we did wrong with his socialization lmao

We're getting a mastiff puppy in December. Shipped down from Brisbane! (That's a long way for those who don't know). He's defently male and I've seen pictures. He's just the cutest!

ooh! English mastiff? What breeder? How exciting!

I'd like to get a table for craigslist but I'll probably have to feed him on the table to get hiim to like it lmao

and then I can do it.

With a dog as big as him prepare yourself for the amount of time it’s going to take you!

It will definitely be a weekend project!!

I'm probably going to start with just a bath and blow dry so that he doesn't object lmao


I need to start some serious counter conditioning

I'm not really sure. Dad's organised the lot. Pretty sure he's a French mastiff though. We want one like the one we lost earlier this year and that's what he was.

I used to have a friend who lived nearby and who groomed dogs at home. I took my dogs there and they learned to be groomed with her. I’m pretty sure I started young with Evie so that it would be easier going forward.
