If you want your dog to be sheared, you must first soothe the dog and relieve its nervousness. Secondly, if the dog is unwilling to have its hair cut because of fear or fear, the owner must first overcome the dog's fear before cutting its hair. In addition, if the dog is young, the owner can also train the dog to develop habits. If the dog is too noisy during the hair-cutting process, the owner can take it to a pet shop for cutting to ensure that a certain amount of hair is cut without hurting the dog.

1. Soothe the dog

Dogs will be more nervous when their hair is cut. At this time, the owner needs to soothe the dog to relieve its nervousness, or take the dog with him more before cutting. Exercise your dog so that it won't be too strenuous when it gets tired. In addition, dogs are generally afraid of heights, so owners can also place their dogs on a slightly higher table. In this case, they will not move around.

2. Eliminate the dog’s fear

Some dogs are unwilling to have their hair cut because they are afraid of grooming scissors or razors. For example, they have been injured by scissors before or have their hair cut before. If it hurts from being cut, it will have a negative impact on the haircut. At this time, it is recommended that the owner first overcome the dog's fear, communicate with the dog softly, and let the dog rebuild its trust in the owner, and then trim the dog's hair. In addition, you need to be careful when cutting hair to avoid causing pain or cutting the dog, which will deepen the dog's fear of scissors.

3. Training

If the dog is still relatively young, the owner can also train the dog. Training it from an early age will make it a habit. For example, every time you bathe and cut your dog's hair, you can prepare a small snack and give it to it immediately after the haircut. Let it understand that there will be a reward after the haircut, and it will gradually stop resisting.
