We have bathed and clipped nails weekly since the 3rd week... 4th week we started with our shampoos and we did some face grooming on two puppies just to gage their reaction. We purchased new clippers since then and are waiting to do all the puppies. Now, this week is the 8th week and we are introducing the forced air dryer and they did fantastic. We work with these puppies every single day to accept all new challenges in a positive way, have a look.
