When the puppy is 6 weeks old you could lightly brush them on your lap. The pup will think it's 'play time.' I always let the pup smell the brush first and then gently groom it. You may only get a few strokes of the brush going at first, but keep it up and eventually they will love being groomed and it's much easier on you. Get your puppy accustomed to having his/her paws, ears, mouth, face and tail touched. You want your dog to eventually have no problems with brushing, drying, ear cleaning, ear plucking, nail clipping, and hair cutting. Many puppies may not act very good for the first time hearing a dryer or clippers. Slowly introduce the sounds and feeling or the dryer and clippers at 6 to 8 weeks.
If you are not going to be grooming your dog yourself be sure you introduce your dog to your groomer at 6 to 8 weeks.

as soon as you get your pup around 6weeks you can bring him in to get a bath and have their nails done and sanitary things like eyes and potty and pads of feet trimmed. when ever the hair is too long for you to maintain or you don't' like the look they can have a full cut call around some groomers believe they have to be 6mo - 1yr for this but that's not true. if you first bring your puppy home and they don't need maintance yet then yes brush them daily if you can (while you watch tv) and play with their feet and ears
I've giving puppies full haircuts as early as 6wks and as long as you have a nice groomer the puppy will find the experience fun and strange but it helps in the experience

∙ 14y agoIt really depends because every dog matures at a different age, some at 6 months, some at 1yr, but to be on the safe side i would wait till your dog hits one year or older, your Vet should be able to tell from taking your dog for a visit, You Vet would be the safest way of knowing. Good Luck!
