Review on SHELANDY Grooming Arm: 35In Height Adjustable, Clamp For Large & Small Dogs + 2 No Sit Haunch Holders - Black by Renee Sagdalen

Nothing like trying to trim an under 3 pound dog who is willful as the day is long. He wants NOTHING to do with grooming, but his hair grows overnight, I swear! So I Invested FINALLY in this aid. I keep him in a puppy cut and have groomed him myself since I got him 12 years ago. He use to be easier to groom and went with the flow, but he is off the charts stubborn and will-full. Wants nothing to do with nails being done. Not happy about under the tail. Not happy about a lot of anything that's needed to be done. My husband has usually helped me but he too is not wanting anything to do with helping in our Maltese's grooming. These grumpy old men! Bah-humbug. They both don't want to invest time and energy in dog grooming. So I had to get with a new plan. So I invested in this. It arrived a little later than I hoped it would come, but it is worth it. Sturdy! Has the hoisting harness that easily goes under front arms and under back legs. It takes a bit of time to get use to him knowing he is up in the air, to stand up on his own, while he doesn't want to. But the harness wins out. Now the under-side is the problem that still requires another strong pair of hands/arms. It is amazing how strong an under 3 pound dog can be. This product helps in grooming the top half of the dog but you still have to deal with the tummy/under carriage in a whole other way. And then there is the trimming of the nails! OMG! That is still a being done with our dog being held by husband, against his chest! There is great crying/screaming by the dog when the clippers come out. They have not even touched him! He starts the howling. I have considered drugs for him! I know it sounds horrible, but being kind and patient is just unattainable. Where's Ceasar when you need him? But you may have total success and be able to achieve what we can't. With him having one less leg to stand on makes him more difficult to groom and harder for him to stand for a long period of time. If you are struggling in grooming your own dog, try this out if you can. With Covid-19, the need for dog owners to groom their own dogs is in play now. Invest in this to get you started in grooming your own dog. Invest in round ended sheers (so you don't poke your dog in the eyes especially, or around those important boy/girl spots!). I got the 6" and 8" rounded sheers. And we also invested in the hand clippers set, where the guides go onto the special scissors to trim him. He likes that better than the electric groomer which I no longer use, at all! I have been free=hand clipping him for 10 years, at least. I went on YouTube to watch dog groomers use this type of apparatus. It gave me better steps in doing it even though I had been trimming for 12 years, on my own. Now if I could only give hubby and the dog some sort of happy personality help, I would be all set!
