Taking Pup To Groomers

Hey everyone! I plan on doing most of my grooming myself, wish me luck! Haha, anyway. I do plan on taking Ramsey to the groomers tho, for cuts and major grooming every couple of months or so, what age is a good age to start taking him?? I didn't take my Doodle as I groom her myself, so I just want to pick a great time for him to get used to being at the groomers.

As soon as all the injections are finished. Book her in for a puppy introduction to get her used to everything like the dryer, clippers, standing on the table and a play!
At least then you can asses if she is scared of anything you can go away and work with her to make her a bit more confident with it.
Eg if shes scared of the clippers, even if you dont plan on clipping her, you can get her used to it with electric tooth brushes or shavers., or start to use a dryer on her to get used to it.

Its quite quick to bath a small puppy so it makes it less traumatic
Sounds great, he gets his last set of shots at 12 weeks and rabies at 14, I will take him after 14! Thank you!
You also might check out the mobile groomers in your town. It is nice to have them come to you. The last time the mobile groomers were here they allowed me to come in and observe. I learned several things that day. I like the fact that they are really at home and not waiting at the groomers for their turn.
