ScotlandSheepdog's ancestors lived in the cold northern part of Scotland, where the cold all year round gave their ancestors a very thick and thick long hair. But it is because of this thick fur that the owners have suffered a lot. Generally, petsdogs that have been raised since childhood are willing to be groomed by their owners. But there are some exceptions. Since they have not developed the habit of grooming their coats since childhood, or the original owners have not dealt with them, they will subconsciously resist when brushing them. So how to improve the dog's bad habit?

Scottish Shepherd Dogs

Dogs raised by the family, especially those raised since childhood, are generally willing to let their owners groom them, and some even like to groom them. However, there are also individual dogs, because they have not developed the habit of grooming their coats since childhood, or they have not been groomed by their original owners. When the new owner grooms them, the dogs will subconsciously resist, even combing to the abdomen or near the head. When in place, it will bite you, making it impossible for you to continue grooming.

To remedy this situation, try to use a gentle tone when you groom your Scottish Sheepdog. When the dog is unwilling to groom and resist, don't scold it, use other methods to stroke it, remove its wariness, while softly applauding and petting it, while continuing to groom it, the dog can gradually adapt to it.

It can also be groomed before breakfast every day, and then feed the dog to eat after grooming, so that the dog can have a conditioned reflex that only after grooming can eat, it may be easier Accept grooming. For some really disobedient dogs, in order to prevent them from biting when grooming, the dog's mouth can be tied up before grooming.

?After tying several times, the dog gradually buys a dog net to get used to the grooming of the coat, and will get rid of the bad habit of not allowing grooming. It is best to use gauze strips to tie the mouth, because the gauze strips are soft and will not hurt the Scottish Shepherd's mouth. Use the gauze strips to wrap around the dog's nose bridge to the chin, tie a knot, and then wrap it around the back of the neck and tie it tightly.
