Groom your puppy daily starting from the day that you bring puppy home. Bath as frequently as required. If you choose to groom your puppy on a table, don't forget that puppies firmly believe they can fly so keep one hand on puppy at all times. A rubber car mat on your work area makes a good non-slip grooming surface. A shampoo specifically made for white-coated dogs will work great for your puppy.

The tools of the trade will be a slicker brush and a long tooth comb (greyhound metal comb). Taking the slicker brush and remembering to keep the teeth of the brush level with which ever part of the dog you are grooming, very softly part and brush every part of the dogs coat taking great care to brush away from the eyes. Remember that knots will always occur in the following areas: between the front legs, between the back legs, around male dog testicles, behind the ears, and under the chin. If you do find a knot, hold the knot so that your fingers are between the knot and the skin and carefully tease the knot out.

Most puppies love having their coats brushed and combed. They are usually easy to handle if you are gentle, taking care to not pull their hair.

Check your puppy's eyes and ears during the grooming process; the eyes should be clear and bright and the ears should be clean. It may be necessary to clip some hair within the ears if there is not a clear air passage. Pay close attention to the ears; if you notice any redness, swelling, or sensitivity to touch, contact your veterinarian immediately.
