So today I'm feeling a little like more of an idiot than usual.
I had a one year old shih tzu that I attempted to groom today (I say attempted because I finally gave up). This dog should be considered for the next summer olympics. It would jump, tug, swirl, pull on the loop until it started choking, try to dive off the table etc... I couldn't do much with him so I finally gave up. Luckily it was only my sisters dog so no harm done. But is there some secret handling technique for these acrobatic dogs or am I going to have to break down and try the groomer's helper?
Dogs like these make a newbie like myself question my sanity.
And be gentle, I'm tender.
