Pricing and Policy updates:

As promised here's my semi long post.

I thought I would lesson the blow with a photo of this cutie names Citrus.

As we are all aware prices are changing for almost everything now a days, and as hard as it was for me to make the choice to do the same, I inevitably have too.

Pricing -

Puppy, Beginner, and Intermediate classes will now be $200 for seven weeks.
Deposits will be $75.00.

Nail trims
Mobile - $35 first appt, and $25 every appt after.
Facility - $30 first appt, and $20 every appt after.
(Please note I have not changed these prices in about 8 years)
I will be changing the booking option for these to accomodate clients better.

Policies - reminder there are NO REFUNDS.

The main changes will be based around group classes, once you are signed up for a class and paperwork is complete you are signed up for that class only, there will be no transferring to another class or private lessons unless the dog is having behavioral issues in a class setting.

There are also no price adjustments around classes, private lessons or day training.

I have always had dogs attend group classes with their second set of shots, and in all the years It has never been an issue, but if you prefer for your puppy to have all three sets, that's absolutely fine, just be sure to register for the appropriate class.

I appreciate all of you, and am looking forward to what 2025 will bring.

I will be off work for the Christmas week starting Saturday, December 21st, to the 30th.
If you are thinking of renting the facility during that week, please let me know soon, as I will most likely have my phone off..

I will be in for one to two days during my time off to do some deep cleaning and retape the floor.

I met Pickle and his two brothers the other day for a nail trim. He's the very first Polydactyly cat I've trimmed nails for, and I absolutely loved his big paws 🐾.

Molly has some healthy stuff, so I made sure she was comfortable and had as many breaks as needed during her pawiducre.

I met Makita today, and she is absolutely lovely. She laid on the floor while I trimmed her nails and helped with some unruly paw fur.

Reminder there is NO group classes on
Wed December 25th, Thur Dec 26th, and
Wed January 1st.

Puppy social for January will be posted this week for January, and I am working on group classes for February as well.

I had a walk in nail trim event on Sunday, it was great, I believe there was about 10 dogs.

Monday I had seven appts, six of which were nail trims, in total I trimmed nine dogs nails.

Jack did lessons just over a year ago, and was super excited to see me. Less thrilled about a nail trim, but we worked through it with treats and praise.

Moonah is a tad nervous when it comes to nails, her parent has been working hard to try and get her comfortable. They booked a home appt for her, and once we got her on the table and comfortable enough to take some treats, I began touching her toes, and slowly but surely we got them all done and she was such a good girl.

Toby had his first lesson the other day, he's a pretty smart kid and is also booked in for my Puppy class that starts in January, this class is full.

Juna is also a new pawdicure client, she is also a nervous pup when it comes to nails trims. Lots of praise and support from her parent, and of course some high value treats. We got them all gone in a flash.

Between Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I trimmed nails for a total of 25 dogs. Whoa hahah.

Yesterday was a busy day, filled with amazing progress from some incredible clients and dogs. Fern has been working on her reactivity, pur last appt she fixated on the fake dog, and had a hard time disengaging. Yesterday's appt was a huge success. I'm so proud of her, and therefore, our next appt will be at a park for some real-life stuff.

Cooperative care is so important for our pets. When I talk about this in classes or private lessons, I always say it's your dogs choice and what makes them comfortable. No forcing. Leeloo has always been a total rockstar at nail trims. Up until several months ago, when she absolutely would not allow me to touch her feet, we tried everything to see why the change. I chalked it up to a negative experience at a groomers. My only guess would be that there may have been some force to get them done, or her quick was hit a few times causing pain. Of course, I will never know why the change, and can only guess. So, over the past four months, every time she is here for day training, I've been counter conditioning her to feet touching and the clippers. She's come a long way, and we've managed to clip some nails before she opts to walk away, which I allow. There's no pressure, no force, and if she doesn't even want feet touching, I never push it with her. She very clearly let's me know she's not wanting it , and I give her all the space she needs. This sort of stuff takes time after a negative experience. It's best to work in this with your puppy while young. Feet touching, nails, pads, between toes, touching clippers to the feet. I also always suggest not having the clippers hidden in a drawer that only come out when we are going to do nails. If you are uncomfortable doing this yourself, find a professional, and make sure they offer force free methods.

Unstoppable..... Just another awesome client working hard with their dog.. Stevie has come leaps and bounds since we started his training back in April. Again, it was a trial and error with what he could and couldn't manage. We opted for some home appts, and those have worked wonderfully for him. We worked in the backyard with some basic skills and teaching him to find and search. Utilizing his sniffer to engage more with the ground rather than be hyper focused on everything else. Yesterday, we worked the front yard, I didn't get a video, but stevie went and sniffed the ground often during our lesson, which is super huge for him Also, look at this leash walk. What a pro... Doing the homework I send you is so important. Even though stevie still struggles, he's doing incredibly well from where we began. I am always reminding clients to celebrate the small wins. Think back two or three months back. Could your dog do what they are doing now? Two months ago, stevie wouldn't have even been able to hold still in the front yard, let alone walk with his human...

I am so incredibly proud of Hoss and his pawrents. Hoss had some reactivity, and after inside appts, we moved to some outside appts. Things did not seem to be getting much better for him, so I reached out to my circle of dog people and got him set up with an entirely new training plan. We worked on the front driveway today, and he did incredibly well. I even stood in the center, as people can also be a bit difficult for him. His family created space when he started to add tension to the leash and reset. He continued beside me with a loose leash and focus on his human. Great work. 👍
