If you have ever attempted grooming your dog on the floor or a normal table, you understand how sticky — and exhausting — it could be. This is where a dog grooming table is beneficial; it will keep your dog in place for your benefit, help your dog feel comfortable, and allow for a better approach for you to have control and a healthy posture. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to use a dog grooming table safely, efficiently, and effectively at home.
Getting Your Dog Ready for Grooming
Before you dive into how to use a dog grooming table, it’s important to help your dog feel relaxed and confident. Start by introducing the table gradually — let your pet sniff around and get comfortable with it.
Once your dog seems calm and relaxed, lower the electric grooming table to its lowest position. Guide your dog onto the surface, using treats or verbal praise. The goal is to make the table feel like a safe, positive space.
Secure your dog using the grooming arm and loop provided, making sure it’s snug but not too tight. This keeps your dog steady during brushing, trimming, or nail care, and ensures a safer grooming experience overall.

Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use a Dog Grooming Table
To give you a clear and practical example, we’ll walk through the process using the CO-Z electric dog grooming table. This table has a height-adjustable working surface, a solid construction, and pet-friendly safety features - making it the ideal candidate for demonstrating the right way to groom your dog comfortably and effectively at home.
Step 1
Raise or lower the table to a proper height for grooming by the foot controller.
Step 2
Select the rope or belt according to the size of the pet.
Note: The rope is recommended for big pets, and the belt is for small pets.
Step 3
Attach the rope or belt to any part of the frame as shown below.
Step 4
Put your tools and grooming products into the tool organizer.
Step 5
Connect the appliances that need to be powered to the power socket.
Step 6
Wrap the rope or belt around the pet’s neck, ensuring it is neither too tight nor too loose to suffocate.
Note: For best result, use a grooming hammock (not included) unless your pet is really chilled. To use a trimming hammock, first remove the belt or rope attached to the horizontal rod, then attach the pet to the rod with the help of another person.
Step 7
Turn on your grooming appliances and groom the pet as needed.
Note: Use the storage space as needed, but do not leave the electric trimmer buzzing inside. Always turn off anything electric before laying it on the table or in the storage niche.
Step 8
Clean and unplug the grooming table after use.

Once you’ve mastered how to use a dog grooming table, you’ll find grooming becomes smoother, faster, and far more enjoyable. Take advantage of adjustable height settings to reduce back strain and fatigue during longer sessions.
