A co workers daughter is learning to groom, and wanted "practice" Giz's coat is pretty easy but he had a few Mats, esp behind his ears, she brushed, washed and trimmed him, did his nails and cleaned up his matts, should be easy for me now to keep on top of him. He was a champ considering he's a pound pup and we had no clue how he was going to respond... Didn't like having his nails done but only whimpered a bit, didn't act out at all.....
