Grooming

Jesse has been with us just over three weeks now and desperately needs to be groomed.

I made a start on two things... I am desensitising him to the clippers (noise, feeling on skin) with clicker training. I am also teaching him with the clicker to have his muzzle held firmly and he is accepting this nicely. This is all going fine and after a few more sessions, he should be ok.

I have also done some clicker training with him to get his feet sorted as they looked like big furry bear paws... I managed to get all four done reasonably well, one by one over two days. Jesse is a little wriggly, but that's only to be expected. Hopefully by the end of the week, we'll be ready to do the grooming without stressing him or myself out.

We had my parents-in-law over today and they love Jesse too... well, who can not love this little rascal...

We have also given Jesse some veg today (like the other dogs) and he loved it...

Here he is with his carrot.
