Dandy, the cocker mix, is a dancer. He line dances to see you at the end of his leash, boogies in the bathtub, and wants to tango on the table. Working on a dog this happy is adorable. And exhausting.
He's not a very large dog, so your grooming table gives him a nice-sized stage to show off his moves. He mostly likes to tap dance at the far side of your table, so you have to lean over, work with your arms extended at an awkward angle, or constantly pull him towards you as you work. By the time you are done with Dandy, you feel like you have spent time at the Disco.
Enter a nifty tool called The Groomers Wall. It is designed to minimize your tabletop's dance area, I mean, its dimensions, thus reducing the space dogs can move around while you work.
It is lightweight and easy to use. When not in use, it folds flat and can be stashed behind a cage bank or in a closet. The Wall comes with two strong clamps that are simple to put on and remove but hold it firmly in place. With The Wall attached to your table, Dandy stays closer to you, reducing back and arm strain as you work on him.
This tool is not just good for dogs that move a lot or try to stand as far away from you as possible; it is also great for puppies, elderly, or nervous dogs because the solid surface of the Wall creates a more secure environment for them. They can lean against it if they want, too, which is especially pleasant for the older pups we groom.
With The Groomers Wall fastened to your table, dogs can less easily step off the far side of the table once they are placed on it, which adds a whole new level of safety to your workspace.
Cat groomers can also benefit from using this tool. Cats enjoy the sensation of being "hidden" or blocked off from their surrounding environment while being groomed, and using the Wall creates a cozier spot for them as you comb, brush, and clip. Rabbit groomers would also find that the Wall makes rabbits feel more confident. As prey animals, they are constantly alert for threats in their environment, and the Wall blocks off the view of much of their surroundings while they are on the table.
Why should you try The Groomers Wall? It will reduce muscle strain while you work if the dog likes to hug the table's far side. It also lowers fall risks, makes many dogs feel more secure, and even helps diminish dancing.
