    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @myers That’s so nice of you! I’m a little north of Detroit. I think it’s water itself. They don’t have bathtub in pet smart, they have washing stations on the floor. In the self wash, it’s a bath tub kind of system. I’m gonna do wash cloth technique as another redditor suggested.

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @myers Are you by any chance in Michigan ? 😂 I would drive to you. You sound like trustworthy and gem of person. I will look into it. Thank you. I’m also considering trying self wash again.

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @ostara Yes, her everyday walks are on paved paths, according to her current groomer she tolerates the nail grinding. I also do that every 2-3 months as you said, it files them down with walks. I’m gonna do ear cleaning and teeth brushing myself as slowly as possible we might be able to achieve...

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @genna Her vet suggested a bath once in 8 weeks or so as she does have bad allergies and a skin infection past. We hike almost 2-3 times a week.

    @miab Thank you. The PetSmart lady suggested it so I assume they allow it. But I’m finding different ways for my dog as such a busy place might not be her thing.

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @satanisnotdead Yes. That’s a great idea. Also she likes PB so I was thinking of putting her lick mat in the bath tub. She doesn’t even put a paw in bathroom because she was forced before by previous owner according to the shelter. But I’m gonna take your advice and give it try during holidays.

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @rev_dc I understand. But she doesn’t let me. We are still learning each other and like I mentioned she has bad past. It’s only been 8 months. I’m trying to get her trust me more with all the things.

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    @recheal95 So when I said grooming, it’s just bath, nail grinding, brushing teeth, and cleaning ears. But she is so deathly afraid of water that she almost had a panic attack this morning. She has severe bad skin infections and according to her vet, even short-haired dogs should bathe at least...

    Dog gets extreme anxiety with grooming

    I found this sub today and I’m so glad. Background: 7yo female pit boxer mix, used to mil puppies for 3.5 years, two adopters abandoned her in bad condition, I’m the 4th owner and her personality came out in the last 8 months. She is extremely smart, and loving and has no clue why people...
