Groomers - do you restrain puppies for grooming?

[ejabarnes]

well i have plenty of playful pups that i groom and for the first session i will not clip i just get them used to the new surroundings of the parlour i will give the dog a treat than proceed if the dog does pull away or go mad just stop give him a rest and carry on i certainly do not force the dog into doing anything especially a youg dog as it will make more nervous next time most owners do not expect the dog to get the full puppy cut on first visit the owner can help by fiddling with feet face etc
