Special attention should be paid to those dogs that are not too often subjected to such procedures. Most often, such a dog behaves very strangely, it is not given into the hands of either its owner, or even more so the master. In addition, such an animal is not only trembling, but also bites, it is almost impossible to keep it in one place.

This behavior can damage the dog during the grooming process, and even lead to minor injuries. In this case the animal must be pacified, petted, give it delicious food, so that it is distracted from the movements of specialists.

If the pet is too huge and at the same time quite aggressive, then it will require a special approach. After all, he will show his superiority in any case.
