Growing Up

R-C Bey Dazzler
2 months and 3 weeks old

     Baby Dazz is so busy learning and growing and exploring and like any mother can attest these precious moments of firsts fly by in the blink of an eye! Today was Baby Dazz's first clipping. She accepted the halter without an issue however she wasn't too sure about the clippers at first. I was impressed though as she came to accept them rather quickly and stood quietly for most of her clipping.
     With her new bridle path and clean lines, she looks so grown up! We left the halter on while she got a shower with mom. Using a loose halter was intentional, so we had room to work around her face. Works best if you use two people, one to hold the halter in front of her and one on the side using the clippers. We always started in the middle of the stall and then let her move up against mom or the wall if she felt like she had to move. Eventually she just stood still in the middle of the stall and accepted everything being done to her.
     I was most impressed when, after we were done and just talking in the stall, she came over to hang out with us. She actually went up and nuzzled the clippers! I think it was a successful training session and we got done what we wanted to accomplish. Good girl, Dazzler!
