Does Your Dog Hate Being Groomed?

Back when we first started grooming Buchi, our four year old Shih Tzu, every time the clipper was one, he'd growl at it and bite it. He also hated being combed on the nuzzle area which is the most difficult part to clean due to the gunk that accumulates there.

Nowadays, he's a well-behaved chapped (that still gets mad at the clippers but no longer fusses that much). He doesn't have issues with combing anymore. I suppose he learned this eventually (when he realized that I wouldn't budge even when he would initiate a nip-a-thon).

How does your dog take grooming?
