🎅🎁 SANTA PHOTOS AT THE BEACH 🎅🎁

Since were getting closer, whats everyone's thoughts on Santa photos this year please?

It would be held at one of the beaches, in Bonny Hills. On a Saturday in Nov or early December.

If there is enough interest, I will start to organise and confirm dates etc, and start to take bookings.

Of course, I'll have to phone Santa and see if he can cheekily swing by for us 😉.

We would like atleast 20 pets to come down on the day. 🥰 ALL pets are welcome!!

Kind regards,
Stacie.

Hi Everyone,

I finally have my technology updated, however I'm still having issues with my Square reader( hopefully sorted this week!) - Thank you for your patience and understanding during this time.

From Monday, with owners permission, some sessions will be recorded so you can all see what happens during sessions, grooming & training 🥰. Videos will also show the progress your Fur baby has made with me from their first visit to present 😍. I will start uploading pics, etc to FB & Insta from Monday aswell.

Kind regards,
Stacie 🤎🐶

The unfortunate truth of owning and running a business.
Running a business is really hard.
What they don’t tell you is that it can cause severe stress and anxiety, and drains you mentally to the point of depression in even the most laid-back people.
People will talk about you, compare you to others, use you, they will view you as a service and not a person anymore.
People will expect discounts and people will value you and your hard work less than a big chain store.
You have to worry about if you forget to email/message someone back, are they going to think it was on purpose? Did you disappoint them? Will they hold that against you? When in reality you just can’t get to everyone’s messages and emails.
Starting up and running a successful business puts incredible strain on personal lives and relationships, many of which fail because there is just often no work life balance. You need to be the director, the worker, the admin, the marketing team, the accountant, the cleaner..... All whilst being a parent, a provider, family support, friend, spouse...
There’s a reason you don’t see many people succeed in small businesses after 5-10 years. If they are successful they are overwhelmed. It takes a toll. It’s freaking exhausting. Especially the past couple of years when so much has been out of our control.
Here’s a small reminder that we are just normal people with hectic lives. Be kind, be patient, support small businesses…….and hopefully more of us will stick around!

Behind the Bite Welcome to Behind the Bite! Behind the Bite has been operating since May 2019. Animals, large and small, skinny or tall, have been my greatest passion since I can remember, to be working with animals all day has always been my dream. I am Certified in Animal Psychology, grooming, cert IV in vet nursing, cert II in animal studies, cert III companion animals. I have also completed certificates in business/retail. This year I am undertaking a Nutrition & Breeding course, along with a certificate in animal Reiki & Massage. I am extremely lucky to have a shop front at the stunning Port Marina, 18 Park St, Port Macquarie. I differ to other groomers in the area, using a Holistic approach, providing positive reinforcement, meditation and lots of love, in a calming, gentle environment. I establish a connection with each pet prior to attempting any service, until they feel more comfortable and relaxed. I allow short play/cuddle/toilet breaks between services. Please see services on offer below, for further enquiries, please visit the store front or contact me, via phone, email or face book. Holistic Grooming Holistic grooming is an all-inclusive, premium grooming service. Any special needs, treatments, or time your pet requires is done as part of the package. All products I use have been vetted for efficacy and environmental friendliness! Holistic services offer a gentle calming grooming environment, I play meditation music throughout and use positive reinforcement to create a trusting environment. We work at the pet’s pace, holding paws and giving kisses creating a sense of love and security. My priority is ALWAYS the pets mental and physical wellbeing, I read body language to gauge when they’ve had enough or are becoming more relaxed and tolerant of the service throughout. *I do not cage animals between treatments* Therapy grooming Therapy grooming is suited to those who are fearful or aggressive during any grooming service. These sessions are designed to build trust and boost confidence, both, for the pet and owner. these sessions are VERY calming, we take things slowly and make a connection and prove I'm trustworthy before beginning the process with a holistic bath to start with. (over time we will build up to be able to do a full groom in one session). In some cases, I may have the owner stay with their pet during this experience. I also suggest bringing them in just for visits, where they receive praise, pats and love Psychology services Animal Psychology studies the cognitive processes and behaviours of animals. I offer gentle and calm modification/training, I work on forming a connection and earning trust with each individual pet before commencing our session. I use many techniques and methods, tailored specifically for each individual case. always end on a positive note, enjoying play time and cuddles before I leave, each visit. Classes There’s a class to suit everyone here at Behind the Bite! These classes are info packed and lots of fun. I aim to teach everyone confidence, trust, and provide an in depth understanding of the Canine mind. Come along and learn how to build an unbreakable connection with your dog, read their body language, and much more, today! Thank you for visiting my page, I hope to see you and your precious pet soon!
