We always teach young puppies coming in for their first groom to be calm and relaxed…
Sparkles has definitely conquered her fear of heights! Now she’s just moseys on up there whenever she feels like it 😂😂
9 year old Amzhad just had her first lesson in hand-targeting; and now she’s nagging me to do some more 😂 (targeting video in comments)

Poodle vs Azawakh
Freshly groomed Standard Poodle in Miami Trim having some fun with Kora whilst I do groom her housemate. Kora loves poodles!
Gorgeous Danno. In his younger days he was a handsome firecracker, bouncing, barking and biting at the detested blow dryer. These days, he has a neurological disorder resulting in limited, very awkward mobility, and although he enjoyed having his warm bath lying down, I could see his face change when he knew it was time to be dried - but he knew he could no longer “defend” himself. So, a change of routine... he was already happy lying in the bath, so after chamois-drying him as thoroughly as possible, I added a thick soft towel under him, not one but two “happy-hoodies” over his ears to muffle the sound and stop annoying airflow, then dug out my old, first ever dryer from the back of the cupboard, which has half the power of my usual dryer, so half the noise and air-sensation, took off the nozzle to make it even gentler, then aided luckily by the walls of the bath keeping the warm air in and a radiant heater overhead, very slowly worked through his beautiful coat, an inch at a time. It wasn’t fast - but it kept Danno feeling relaxed and secure, which, in his condition, is far more important! Though it may take the rest of the day to re-straighten my back 😂
Big Wilfred the Weimaraner doesn’t like baths... Kora is offering her support...
Heeeeeere’s Snoopy! Snoopy doesn’t sit still for photos 😍😂😍. (Toy Poodle)
