Grooming Noose and Others?

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

Anyone make their own grooming noose?  Or homemade grooming table, supplies, etc.

I have many leashes and collars.  Thought for sure I can make something up here at home.  I do not need anything fancy, just functional.   I'm tired of being on the floor combing out the doodle.

Just want some of your ideas and pictures.

I bought a pneumatic lift table from Harbour Freight Tools. DH fashioned a larger platform from particle board and attached it to the lift table with nuts and bolts after I applied a clear finish to repell water.  I added a door mat and a grooming arm with noose.  Works really well.  Haley gets on the table and I pump it up to a good height to work on him.  It saves my back. It did cost some $$s but well worth it.

great idea!  I love the size of the wheels on this!

OMD, I love this table.  Sorry honey. I know  you have one of these in the garage for that saw you never use.  It's mine now!

I love this doodle page, I love this doodle page! I was just telling my guy the other night when I was doing Flynns nails and paw pads that we can't keep lifting him on the kitchen counter since he's getting too heavy. I made a mental note to see how much a groomer's table would be... But boy oh boy this might do the trick. Thanks Anne!

Anne, I have gone with your suggestion and am in the middle of modifying my new hydraulic table. So exciting! I notice that you attach the grooming arm on the side rather than the end of the table. Is there a reason for this? I'm trying to figure out the whole grooming arm issue as this is my first table/arm set up. Thanks!

[Anne & Mr. Haley]

Ricki, the noose was attached on the side of the table because Haley stands crosswise on the table.  I have since put it on the  end and he still stands crosswise.  Silly Doodle!  The table is 24" x 48" but Haley stands in a 24" by about 18" space across the table.

Okay, that is helpful, thanks! Such a funny boy! They do have minds of their own!

I have had only one stroke of brilliance in regard to doodle grooming. I will repeat it here. I put a yoga mat on the table I use to groom the dogs. Both of them are very good about grooming so I haven't needed a noose, but the table was slippery. I tried lots of options but this is by far the best. It is slip-free and it is a breeze to clean up. The hair doesn't stick to it at all.

That's it. End of being brilliant. I can die happy. 

[Pat and Traveler]

Funny, Bonnie!  I'll bet you have many strokes of brilliancy...

[Joanne ~ Spud*]

I love it, Bonnie.  I'll add that to the list.  Brilliant indeed.

Sounds like a great idea.  Going to try that.

I have no storage room , so I have a large crate which I have placed plywood on the top of and a mat to use a a grooming table.( would love to have a lift table). In summer I use my out door table with a mat on it.
