Dog grooming the way it should be.

Sometimes pets don't get a young start to the grooming process, or maybe it just wasn't the right groomer to start out your pup.  Or maybe they had a bad experience at one point and after that it was all hate and no love for grooming for Fido. 

We offer rehabilitation grooming sessions. I have had tremendous success turning pups around for the grooming process over my 17 year career.  A commitment must be made by you, the owner, and me the groomer with goals and a training schedule in mind. 

We require every 3 to 4 weeks pre-booked appointments depending on how severe the grooming fear/behavior is. We basically start like it is a puppy with a re-introduction to grooming. We focus on no stress, and ending on a good note. All dogs can be trained through there fears/behaviors and shown that grooming doesn't have to be a scary thing. 

In this case, it is not merely grooming. It is intensive dog training as well. A fee of $30.00/hr will be added to your grooming price for our rehabilitation training. Once your dog is ok for the grooming process, this fee will no longer apply. 

I look forward to working with your pet to show them grooming can be fun and enjoyable.  Please let us know when booking you are interested in our Rehabilitation package.

To set puppies up for success with grooming as adults, we like to begin at 3.5-4 months old.  By this point you as the owner should have been working on brushing, combing, and handling all body parts to de-sensitize the dog. 

We build on that relationship by properly showing the puppy what all will happen during the grooming process.  Be begin building trust and we make it fun and stress free with each visit. Puppies should be groomed every 4 weeks until 1 year old. At that point if they are well trained to the grooming process, we can begin scheduling every 4, 6 or 8 weeks depending on what you would like as the client. It makes a world of difference to start puppies right than to wait until a year old and say- "here ya go" and now the dog is terrified of grooming because it is something that has never been done before in its whole year of life. Grooming will be easier on your pet and your pocketbook when they behave. 

We offer Creative Grooming as well!! Whether it is Asian Fusion grooming, pet safe color, coat carving or rhinestones we can do it.  Please contact us with your ideas and we can help you through design, and pricing.
