Tumai is spending some time on the grooming table, as did all the pups. They are becoming used to being on the table, being in a noose and most importantly, being handled everywhere-ears, mouth, tail, feet. Everywhere.

A second shot of Tumai. You want to see the pups unafraid and happy during grooming. Most dirt can be removed by brushing. Siberians need minimal bathing. Bathing too much will dry out the coat. Keep initial grooming sessions short, but frequent.

Here is just a head shot of Tumai-he is a handsome guy! When out in the large kennel, there are balls. Everyone, especially Tumai, are big players and always up for a game. Tumai is still available.

T'Kaya is getting a brushing with the Zoom Groom. This stimulates the skin/natural coat oil, loosens up dirt and dead skin cells.

All the pups get lots of touching during grooming. In this pic, T'Kaya gets used to having her feet and legs touched. They learn that it is a "good thing".

This is a head shot of T'Kaya. She was on the grooming table out under a shade tree. Regardless of being a longer coated Sibe or a shorted coated Sibe, all need regular and thorough grooming.

This is Miya on the table ready for her turn. If you start and continue grooming, your Sibe will accept it and will probably love it! You may want to have a brush/zoom groom, a comb and an undercoat rake for basics.

This, too, is Miya. You may also not want to neglect teeth while grooming. It is easier to get your pup accepting of tooth brushing while young. Start by just using your finger-then go to a soft toothbrush with dog toothpaste on it. Again, keep sessions short with lots of positive praise. Notice the dirty spot on her paw---you can dress 'em up, ...as the saying goes.

...a head shot of Miya. All the pups are going in for their next series of shots. It is just about time for their first Rabies shot. I do not do Rabies vaccinations at the same time as their puppy vaccinations. I do it 1 week apart. She continues to be available.
