If your dogs are slipping and sliding then take them indoors. You do not want them injuring themselves.
Maki is a moving target on the grooming table so each time I comb him, I cut off a little more. He departs tomorrow. By now, he is getting better on the table. The more you groom, the more they know what to expect and the calmer they get when they are whirling on the table. anot all are. Some are as they feel they can control figuring you will give up. I always comb and snuggle and kiss them up. It pays off and besides you are doing them a favour and doing yourself one at the end of the conditioning. Maki, I have seen a huge change.
The dogs are playing and playing and playing. It's wonderful and they enjoy the outdoors when there is no rain.
Ms. Chai goes for her 2nd shot tomorrow. She has adjusted well. It took her a bit as she is an independent soul but she is also a creature of habit and Nathan has been exposing her. In another week, I will wash her again.
