What do our dogs experience entering the unique world of a grooming salon...

 We want to help all dogs to have a lifelong happy relationship with grooming and understand that every anxious dog has unique needs, so we offer flexible options to ensure a stress-free grooming experience. Our co-operative consent based grooming services include:

 We will provide anxious dog grooming sessions in either the salon or at your home for anxious dogs who may need the comfort of familiar surroundings and family

 We will build a bond of trust with your dog and listen to their feedback and respect their fear and anxiety and help them to feel safe around the grooming process and equipment so they can start to relax and in time the nervous system will calm and they will not react fearfully to the environment through:

• fun play and/ or food based bonding sessions to build a relationship in which the dog will trust the groomer and eventually let them touch them and spend close up time with them grooming; and
• gradual desensitization program and co-operative consent based grooming training to help nervous dogs  learn to not be afraid of sensory engaging things such as water, vibrating or loud grooming equipment including the bath, hair dryer and clippers. 

 We will tailor each nervous dog grooming session to your dog's comfort level. We will work with you to find the perfect grooming solution.

We will identify the sources of anxiety and fear and consider cutting out theses stages of the groom which could be being taken away from their human or dog family, being bathed, the sound or vibration of high velocity dryers or clippers, and still keep your dogs coat in a condition that is healthy, tangle free and feels good.  

  We will join up with any existing trainers or behaviourists you've been working with to understand your dogs needs as deeply and thoroughly as possible.  

If you are in need of dog training or behaviour training we highly reccomend our friends at either Dogitivity in Oxshott www.dogitivity.com or
