I have two 6 year old lhasa apsa dogs that I started home grooming when they were nine months old. I bought the stand that yoou leash the dog to on your table and they learned to let me clip them. It was also easier doing the nails this way. My results are not perfect but I do save money and the dogs do not freak out if I were to leave,them at a commercial salon. It takes time and patience but it is a great bonding experience.
