What happens during your puppies first visit? Why is it important to get them started young? 💖

Puppy intro visits are essential in the process of developing a positive relationship between your pet and stylist!

When getting your four legged friend in the salon at a young age, you are promoting grooming as a lifestyle, and not as a punishment!

during your pups first visit we will introduce and desensitize them to all the sights and sounds in a professional setting. using positive reinforcement, treats and appraisal we will assess and work with you to ensure your furbaby has a long, healthy and happy relationship with grooming. 🐾🌈
