i brush their belly and legs in my lap, with them on their backs. when you have a puppy, its good to practice putting them on their back on your lap and rub their belly, so its a pleasurable experience (and not always for the "dreaded" grooming). also, it helps if you don't expect to do an entire grooming/brushing in a single session with young pups. a little brushing and treats and praise and playtime afterwards throughout the day. you may need to treat if they walk up and touch or sniff the brush and build up from there.

Yes, it's a great table for grooming.
Allthough I could brush them on it, I find the other way more relaxing.
I like to kneel on the carpet, have the large ottoman in front of me,
with a pup on top.
And I can brush/comb them forever like this.
I do this late at night, while DH is watching the TV.
They really like the comfy atmosphere.
And usually start to drift off to sleep.
And because I have 2 pups, I spend a lot of time brushing,
so comfort for me is also a factor.
The grooming table I use for more of a "I mean business attitude."

Yes, it is very storeable. It does come apart.
Which I thought would be important.
But I just leave mine set up all the time on a desk in the spare room, which I use pretty much only for grooming.
I leave a special dog bed and den near it, so the pup who is not being groomed can hang out or nap.

Thanks for the compliment about Paris & Coco!
