Blown Away!

I can't even believe how crazy-effective this gadget is for grooming my dog. I was skeptical - but desperate. My 35 pound Goldendoodle has been impossible to trim/comb/brush around certain parts of her body. I definitely couldn't trim her nails, even with help, and had to stop taking her to groomers because of this. They just couldn't deal with her. She would whine, contort her body and thrash and because I think biting me was imminent, I muzzled her. I still couldn't get a nail clipper near her. She fought that much. I have been trying to desensitize her since I've had her, and it just hasn't happened. I was nervous about the stability and safety of the harness, but my husband assisted in getting her hooked up, and I made sure I had everything I needed within reach before starting. I definitely would not hook your dog up too high off the ground, or leave him or her alone while in it. I know this sounds dramatic, but this product is life-changing! She was quiet as a mouse, totally still, and let me do everything she has fought me on from day one. I haven't shut up about this thing since using it. You have to keep an eye on how your dog's placement is doing as you go, and that they aren't getting wiggly or pulling their hind legs out. I also rigged up our system so that her front end was slightly higher than her back end - just a little, tiny, bit. This helped in keeping her stable and comfortable as well. If she were any heavier, I would not trust the clips or hooks included, and would purchase more sturdy hardware. However, for the price, it's definitely worth the sling alone. I also threw out the nail clippers because they got hung up in her fur around her nails, and they just weren't super quality. I am super happy with the purchase overall, and whoever thought this weird looking idea up? GENIUS.
