It is a good idea to do several months of training and an apprenticeship before purchasing equipment for your Shih Tzu Grooming Salon. Concentrate on the basics and gradually add to your grooming kit. Always buy the best equipment you can afford, and upgrade when possible. Spending a little more money on higher-quality equipment may help prevent repetitive strain injuries. Certainly, buy the best-quality clippers for your Shih Tzu Grooming Salon.

Buy equipment for your Shih Tzu Grooming Salon from an establishment where experienced people are on hand to help you to decide what, and what not to buy. Keep in mind, however, that these people are in business. Don’t be persuaded to buy items that are not strictly necessary for your particular Shih Tzu Grooming Salon.

Equipment most available from shops selling grooming supplies:

1.Protective clothing2.Grooming tables3.Bath brushes4.Shampoo5.Conditioners6.Color-enhancers7.Dryers8.Automatic dog dryers9.Stand Dryers10.Hand Dryers11.Power blower/groomer12.Towels13.Combs14.Pin and bristle brushes15.Slicker brush16.Clippers and blades17.Blade banks18.Clipper oil19.Blade wash20.Grease for clipper bearings21.Comb attachments22.Ear care23.Eye Care24.Nail care25.Scissors26.Stripping tools27.Stripping knife28.Stripping stones29.Dog dresser30.Dematting tools

You can also purchase these supplies online and at many pet supply stores near you for your Shih Tzu grooming salon. Pet Edge is a wonderful source for professional groomers as well as at home groomers.

Remember to start out with “just what you need,” and add on as you need. Avoid spending a lot of money on supplies and equipment when you first start out will help keep the costs down for your Shih Tzu grooming salon. You can always add items as you go along.

Start out with good organization in your Shih Tzu Grooming Salon. Have a particular spot for each group of grooming necessities.

Dog Grooming Table question by TwistedxKiss: Any ideas on how to handle grooming for a grumpy old dog?
I have a 15 year old affenpinscher. His health is not perfect, but well managed between my family and our vet. However, he has developed the habit of biting anyone who touches him when he would rather not be bothered. He was never a biter before, and even in his teething stages NEVER bit my mother. We’ve checked it over with the vet and he is not in pain, the theory is that he’s just old and crabby and being stubborn. Affenpinschers are very stubborn dogs and he is well over his life expectancy, so that seems feasible to me.

The problem is that his groomer told us not to bring him anymore. He has always been a bit bad at the groomer, I expect he probably wasn’t socialized very well. (I am only 5 years older than him, so it wasn’t my responsibility to ensure this. Spare me the lecture, I’ve already given it to my parents. ) Apparently he slipped out of the little leash thing and nearly fell off the table, and when someone grabbed him to catch him he actually tore flesh from their thumb, as well as biting two other people during the appointment. So they told us that he’s just too old and badly behaved for them to handle safely anymore, and to get him groomed at the vet’s instead where he will be safer. But our vet doesn’t groom, and the only one in the area that does, our neighbor’s dog came home from with a broken leg that they neglected to explain. So my dear Max will not be going anywhere near there.

His hair grows way too long and causes him problems, so not grooming him is not an option.

Does anybody have any ideas of how to handle this? I am at a loss. If he’d let me I’d just trim up his face by myself, he’s too old for vanity at this point, but I’m afraid he’d fidget and I’d accidentally cut him or something. He isn’t cut very close to his eyes, it’s mostly hair on top of his head that hangs down, but I don’t want to risk it.
NOTE: The biting is NOT a constant thing. He is only nippy in the late evening when he starts to get sleepy and ought to be left alone anyway, and when he knows his insulin is coming soon (or grooming, apparently.) 95% of the time he is perfectly well behaved, playful, and affectionate. I don’t want anyone to think that he’s completely vicious. While unacceptable either way, the behavior is only during specific isolated circumstances, and he behaves normally otherwise.
The biting isn’t all that offended the groomers. They are concerned that he slipped out of the leash and almost fell off the table. They are afraid he will get hurt as well. So a muzzle and the groomer won’t work, and if AT ALL possible, I’d like to avoid stressing him out that much due to his age.
The reason why his face MUST be maintained is because he was born with some sort of eye condition that causes them to not produce enough moisture, and so his eyes get all goopy and gross. He has medicated drops and drops for moisture, and we clean out his eyes daily, so we do keep on it. But when his hair is long, his eyes could goop up during the night and make the hair crust his eyes shut. When he’s being groomed regularly there is no problem, but now we are having serious troubles.

And he has hair growing out between his pads that is making him slip on the kitchen floor, too.
I am familiar with Acepromazine. The vet says that sedating him at his age is out of the question.

Put a muzzle on him and take him to the groomer. He’ll have to deal with it.

Dog Grooming Tools question by David W: Have you ever given your dog the Furminator grooming service at Petsmart?
I have a 100 lb Lab that sheds like crazy and although my GF loves the dog, she doesn’t the hair that builds up in my house, week to week. The local Petsmart offers a Furminator grooming service – I’m curious how long this helps eliminate shedding? Also, if I buy my own Furminator, how often should I brush out my dog with the tool to keep lots of fur out of the house?

Dog Grooming Tools best answer:

Answer by CHAO is a VEIM
No and never will, frankly i think the furminator destroys the coat of some dogs. I will stick to my fine toothed hacksaw blade works great, my dogs love it, and does not harm the coat.

I frankly think the furminator is a waste of money.
