I groom Molo up on a table - either outside if its fine, or inside if not - on a rubber car mat bought at the suggestion of Molo's breeder.
I had to ask for a 'platform' to stand him on when we did this part of the Puppy Assessment - there was no way he would have behaved if he had been on the floor
I love grooming him, its so theraputic for me, and he seems to enjoy it too. He gets a few special treats while I am doing it, and he seems to take pride in looking smart after he has been all fluffed and brushed!
I know he comes from show stock, but I can't imagine that there is a genetic element to this enjoyment
, I guess its a case of getting them used to it from a very early age and some will always enjoy it more than others
