Well it's finally December and everyone is counting down the days till Santa paws comes. Here are a few of Jules grooms for December so far. Keep your eyes peeled for your pet. This yr instead of a using our traditional cloth backdrops we are testing out a new app that generates backgrounds, without effecting the subject in the photo. Its actually pretty cool. If clients wish, they can purchase a a4 print of their pet with the watermark removed. 🎅

Omg there will be Golden glitter everywhere ha ha!

Meet the cheeky "brothers in arms" Benji and Barney. They always melt my heart when they come in for a pamper. Barney (the apricot coloured one), often goes home with a love heart carved into his coat with just a splash of dog safe washout colour. It reminds his human Mum of a 'my little pony' 🥰

Puppy desensitisation grooms are incredibly important for all breeds of dog, both long and short haired alike. Your new puppy will need to have their coat and or nails regularly maintained by both yourself and more than likely a professional groomer or veterinarian at some point.

What are desensitisation grooms, and when do you start them?

Some breeders will tell you not to have you pup groomed for the first 12 months of their life 🤦‍♀️. This information is incorrect and often leads to disaster.

A puppy should begin being groomed as soon as is practicable. You can start the desensitisation process yourself at home in small 5 minute sessions by: Brushing and combing their coat daily, making sure you get down to skin level. Handling their tootsies and even getting them used to a variety of vibrations and noises by gently rubbing either an electric toothbrush handle or the grip part of an electric shaver with blade removed over their body is a must. Perhaps even utilising a hand held hair dryer on low heat and air, in the background to gently blow their hair, ensuring that you don't blow the air directly into their face or ear canals. Remember to reassure them that it is ok and praise and reward them when they comply just as you would do with obedience training. Be sure to ignore any unwanted behaviour like squirming, crying, nipping. Always finish a traing session on your terms not the dogs and in a positive manor. Once you pup is vaccinated it will then be time to book in with a groomer.

A Puppies first few professional grooms usually consist of a meet and great, warm bath, gentle blow dry, brush and of course a hygiene groom for long haired breeds, (face, feet, bottom trim and nails) if the dog is compliant and relaxed. Sometimes we may only complete one of the steps above because the pup has become a little overwhelmed and needs a break, after all they are only babies that can't always understand what we are asking of them.

We also take time to just leave our clippers and equipment running near your pup, once again whilst reasuring them that they are safe.

Most pups are unsure the first few times and it can take time for them to relax and trust us. But when they do it is a truly rewarding experience.

Please welcome young Ray to our grooming family. Transformed from a hot mess to a distinguished gentleman. Was he a goodboy?....of course he was as mum had helped with getting him used to the process.
