I have been grooming dogs for 4 years. Today, I groomed a dog named Scooter, a Lhasa Apso. In the past, I tried to reach into the cage to pick him up before he was set to go home. I knew he was cage shy because he started smiling at me. So I got a temporary lead to put around his neck and I had a scare. He tried to bite my hand off. When I succeeded in pulling him out with the lead, he attacked again, missing my hand by inches. I was sad and upset at the same time.
Today, I groomed Scooter with no problem. The only thing different was that I didn't put him in the cage...I groomed him straight through. Scooter was a perfect dog and didn't bite me at all.
What was up with that?
For future reference, please give me an answer in how to take out a cage shy dog. Thanks!
