Sleepy Cavapoo Puppy Just Can't Keep His Eyes Open During First Haircut

A puppy's first trip to the groomer can be exciting, challenging, or even relaxing, depending on your doggy's demeanor. Wait, relaxing, you ask? Aren't pups usually so worked up that they're impossible to keep still while cutting their hair? For a lot of dogs, yes, but for this particular cavapoo named Wookiee featured by a groomer on TikTok, getting up on the grooming table is like heading to a relaxing spa. In fact, he sometimes can't even keep his eyes open, he's so calm. Just watch.

Declared to be a "super chill" mixed breed of dog by the groomer, the adorable little pup was a dream on the table while getting his very first trim. While most puppies bounce around like toddlers fueled by Red Bull, Wookiee kept nodding off mid-clip, leaving the groomer to ask, is he tired or just over me?

Of course, it was hard for some viewers to believe their eyes while watching Wookiee be so easy-going: "My Cavapoo is a literal psycho 😭😭😭😭," declared one person in the comments. Meanwhile, others came to say their dogs were also on the chill side, with one noting, "My boy be soooo tired after a groom 😂." Maybe it all comes down to this observation by a viewer: "Getting beautiful is exhausting."

A trip to the dog groomer doesn't have to be stressful for your canine companion. The key to a stress-free grooming visit is helping them be calm, comfortable, and ready for a positive experience.

First, try to get them used to having their paws, ears, and face gently touched at home, so they're familiar with those sensitive areas being handled. If it's going to be their very first haircut, consider stopping by the facility beforehand to explore the space and let your dog sniff around without any grooming taking place. Then, right before the appointment, take them for a long walk or play session to burn off energy, as a tired pup is sometimes more relaxed. It also helps to keep your own energy level calm because dogs are very astute at picking up on their owner's emotions.

The biggest thing you can do for your pup's attitude toward grooming is to be patient, as building trust and confidence takes time. And treats — bring lots and lots of their favorite treats and offer plenty of praise before and after the appointment. Every positive grooming experience helps your dog feel more comfortable, confident, and relaxed at future haircuts.
