Shear Heaven










So during one of Mako's rehabilitation sessions it was suggested we consider grooming him in his own environment. Weeks had passed since the suggestion and the only groomer who was willing to put up with his attitude retired; a family decision to give it a try was made.


First: purchase a professional clipper and MUZZLE

Second: round everyone to the dog arena

Third: leash the victim, Mako

Fourth: desensitize

Fifth: assign duties

Sixth: begin procedure

Seventh: shower

Eighth: reward


To our amazement he enjoyed the experience! But I guess if you had a choice to sit in a cage for hours with cage dryers, dehydrated, scared and not sure if your loved ones would return versus being smothered with affection and tenderness for hours; enjoyment would be doable.
