Here are a few steps you can take to help your dog become more accepting of grooming:

  1. Start by getting your dog used to being handled. Gently touch and massage different parts of your dog's body, including their ears, paws, and tail. Reward them with treats and praise for remaining calm and relaxed.

  2. Gradually introduce grooming tools, such as a brush or comb, and allow your dog to sniff and investigate them. Offer treats and praise for calm behavior.

  3. Begin grooming your dog for short periods of time, starting with the least sensitive areas of their body, such as their back or sides. Reward them with treats and praise for remaining calm and still.

  4. Gradually increase the duration of grooming sessions as your dog becomes more comfortable.

  5. Give your dog a break if they become agitated or uncomfortable during grooming.

  6. Repeat the process regularly, so your dog gets used to grooming as a routine.

It's important to note that, if your dog has a past traumatic experience or is extremely anxious or aggressive towards grooming, it would be best to consult a professional trainer or behaviorist to address the underlying issues before attempting grooming.
