Dog Grooming Table Tips

Another important aspect of working on the table with your dog is that your dog knows reliably that they can't get off the table unless you tell them to. When the dog is on a grooming noose, it is very important that they know that they have to stay on the table and if you are switching positions and getting them from going from a stand into a sit or a down, you will also want them to know that they have to stay on the table. So you need to train your dog to do that. If I am working with a dog in a stand position with a grooming noose, I want to be able to be working here at the back end of the dog without worrying that he is going to jump off the front. Then if I am going to stop working with him in a stand and I am going to take him out of the grooming noose and I want the dog to change positions, I don't want to be worrying whether he is going to get off the table. Ty down, good boy. So he is going to stay on the table until I am finished brushing him and then when I am done with the dog on the table, okay Ty, okay, let's go, he can get off of the table. This way, okay. He's going to go try and find a good way to get down. Let's go, okay, good boy, good job. We always want to make sure that the dog knows he has to stay on the table until we release them from being on the table. It is a safety issue for the dog. Certainly if you are doing the grooming at your house and the dog jumps off the table as long as they are not in a grooming noose, nothing is going to happen to them. But if you are at a show, if you show your dog and you are at a show, they have to know that they have to stay on the table until you have released them.
