Expert Answer

When grooming, place the dog on a high table so its fear of jumping keeps it calm. Second, comfort it and give treats to build trust and ease anxiety. In addition, start with the back and legs, and avoid pulling or hurting it to prevent resistance. Finally, if the dog keeps moving, cut holes in cloth for its four legs, sleeve them, and suspend the dog in the air so it cannot move..
