I bought this specifically just for muzzle training and to do lure coursing if he needs to have it for that. Let me know what you guys think! Not sure how muzzles are supposed to be fitted at all.

His nose doesn’t usually touch the top, but it might be the nose band. The band is adjustable.

Desensitization

I have a dog that does not need regular grooming (at least not by a professional), however I do want to desensitize him to being at the groomer away from me in the case that I would like to send him somewhere. He does great with me but I want to get him used to other environments with other dogs in which I am not around.

I also eventually want to see if he can tolerate a creative groom in the future.

Is there a way I can take him to the groomers without getting him groomed? Like just the groomers playing with him, placing him on the table and bath, messing with his paws, the sound of the clippers and other things that they do for puppies

Or should I just book a normal grooming session?
He is a show dog so I don’t necessarily want anyone to take scissors to him unless they know the breed, but I wouldn’t mind them giving him a bath or a nail trim.

He is 1.5 years old and has only been to the groomer once for a nail trim. They said he did great and that inspired me to learn how to do them myself so I haven’t brought him back.

He gets bathed and nails trimmed almost weekly. He doesn’t get brushed much unless he’s shedding a lot. (And then usually I just give him a bath to get everything off)

Dog facts:
Basenji
Intact male
1.5 years old
Bathed~weekly (using blueberry facial and GWTD cucumber)
Nails~weekly (grinder)
Stays still well enough for me to scissor his tail for show.

Updated collection! (I think it’s complete for now)

I tried to put them in movie order as best I could. (Let me know if i missed something tho!)

Dunno what I’m gonna do when the jeep comes out XD. It might stay in the box with the people.

I know fishing line would look better for the flying ones but I don’t wanna go up there again.

Training for the judge

Still doesn’t know how to get on the box by himself but he freestacks very nicely everywhere but my house.

In this session I touch him all over (much more than a judge should do) so he gets used to it while standing. He tends to want to sit on the table during his inspection.

We were indeed locked outside until he was bathed. 🧼

My crazy water loving child. He got dirt everywhere.
