Friendly PSA!!

Don’t forget to take your animals indoors during the eclipse today.

It’s extra important to make sure your animals are in a calm environment during the eclipse, as some may feel anxious/affected by the sudden darkness.

Be safe! 🐶🐾🐈

We will be hitting the road on May 4th to Louisdale. We have a private groom, and then will be doing nails. We have space available for 2 more nail clients who are interested in being on a 6 week schedule. Nail trims are $25.00 and we come right to your door. Allison is the professional who gets the job done in a timely manner. Chef Nonnie is there for pure entertainment value! Please send us a PM if your pets would love some entertainment every 6 weeks! *HUGE thanks to Buggy Smalls and Rachel at Goodhands Boardingkennels for always providing us with great ideas for funny videos!

Mobile Nail Trims! We have availability on Friday afternoon, April 21 for a few more stops. The next Nail Day will be Friday April 28th! We love coming to your home to provide this service. Your babies are so much happier at home and we are watching your pups blossom and build trust with us, and you. 📞 us to make an appointment!

Watch this video... and tell me how this beautiful girl feels about getting her nails trimmed. Our first visit saw Skye meeting us at the door, but when it came time for nails she had every tool she knew ready to use to avoid getting her nails trimmed. Our first visit was over 45 minutes long, and 17 million treats, and 3x that amount in praise... and allllll of us were tired from pacing around the kitchen with her. Today? Today was an absolute turning point for Skye! She met us at the door, and she was happy to see us. She still truly loves the love and praise she received from both her mom and dad. Her trust is building in all of us who are her support system. Her trust in herself is building that she can do this. I left her home today with tears on my face. I'm SO proud of Skye and the transformation that's happening in front of our eyes. I'm so happy for her mom and dad who love her and want the best and are working towards the goal! And guess what? When nails were all done, treats and praise given, Skye went to Connie all on her own, gave her a hug a kiss and a 20 second head touch! 💙 Talk about the BEST feeling in the world? THAT was it! Skye = 20/10 Good Girl!

Give us a call if you have a dog that could serve some time in the Dog House! 🐶 We just had two appointments open up for Monday, March 27th!

Allison's Dog House is now accepting appointments for new and returning clients!

Some people are dog people. Some people are cat people. I think we know what kind of people this gentle little one is. 🙂🩷 Just listen to that giggle. It's pure delight and comes from her heart!

Last call to get on our route for nail trims. We do not promise to get your pets nails trimmed, because we know that they have been hurt before and are now afraid. We promise to take our time and work with your dog to earn their trust to make this the least stressful it can be. Give us a call 902.574.6900!

When you are busting your 🍑to create a better life... This is what it looks like!!! We are so close to getting the shop complete folks. Thank you all so so much for your support during this transition. The Dog House is nearly ready to open .. and we cannot wait to see your wiggly tails! *eeeek

We have some spots available for nail trims on Friday and we can squeeze in 2 more on Saturday in the Sydney area. Give us a call to get added to our Route. Until then, Tell Your Dog I Said Hi!

Nail trim appointments available! We are professional (almost) We are fun (because we laugh with you and at your dog too) We are quick (sometimes) We are trained (Allison is, I'm just a good distraction) We are worth it! And so is your bestest buddy!

🚨🚨 UPDATE 🚨🚨 We've hit a MAJOR progress update in getting the shop open! WE HAVE WATER

📣📣📣 No dogs were harmed making this video. Laughed at though! Ho Boy was she ever laughed at! Goodhands Boardingkennels thanks for always working with us, and helping us find the laughter in every day! ❤️ Now... let's laugh at Buggy Smalls "scream" again! Lolz

Last call for nail trims on the Northside tomorrow March 1! Sydney Mines North Sydney Bras d'or George's River And all surrounding areas! 902.574.6900 to book!

Big shout out to Mother Nature in hopes that she does not cover us in snow and ice and cold and yuck tomorrow. We have another PACKED Saturday and we don't want to miss anyone! In the meantime, check out our first customer checking out the mess we have going on here. Exciting progress!

See this cute little video? See three happy tails wagging? Well, guess what? 2 of these happy bums live in this house, and one came over to play. And because their moms are super duper smart, they saved money today, because we trimmed multiple nails in one stop. You see, at 3 pets per home, we offer a discount of $5.00 per pet! These folks actually saved 20 bucks today (they had a cat too) We call this a win/win! What are you waiting for? 📞 us!

Want to talk seriously for a minute? Want to know a couple reasons why your dog HATES getting their nails cut? Pain and Fear Pain is the main reason that dogs hate nail trims. If your dog has ever been cut too close, even once, he will remember it. Nature provides pain as a protection and if something hurts, an animal must learn to avoid, and even fight it. This is a survival instinct. If your dog has ever had a sore joint that hurt when you pulled the leg out to trim or if he is a member of the short legged breeds, like Bassett Hound or Dachshund, it might be uncomfortable for you to stretch the legs firmly for a trim. Again, pain is a strong memory for a dog and to survive he needs to remember painful things and avoid them. And Fear Fear is another thing that dogs instinctively must remember. Animals in the wild must be able to remember and avoid situations or places where they felt their lives were in danger, like a place where predators lurk or there is a sharp drop off. When you restrain your dog, (without previously teaching him that there is nothing to fear) you trigger his fear response and his survival instincts kick in. He might struggle and you tighten your grip. Then he is truly panicked and feels that he cannot escape. His fight or flight response could cause him to fight you or to bite you. This damages your bond irrevocably. After a struggle, whenever you go to trim the nails, you are nervous and he reads your body language and it confirms that there is a need to be afraid. So let us help. We don't guarantee that we will be successful, but we promise to make the experience as pain and Fear free as we possibly can. ❤️

Nail trim appointments available this week. We are accepting new clients all over CBRM. Give us a call or text 902.574.6900 No need to fuss. No car ride. No vet. No stress. No worry. We show up, trim some nails, have a laugh and we are on our way!

Our Story

Allison has been trained by Blanche Doyle, of Brenda’s All Breed Grooming Academy in Moncton, New Brunswick in 2006 and then has worked at various locations throughout Cape Breton, before making the leap of faith and opening Allison's Dog House.

Allison has been trained in the proper trim/groom for all breeds of dogs, including Schnauzer, Poodles, and Bernese Mountain Dog and is currently hand stripping a Wire Fox Terrier. Allison and her staff have the ability and accommodations to groom Large Dog Breeds, Saint Bernards and Bernese Mountain Dogs are two great examples. But lets not forget our little buddies like Dachshunds, Shih-tzu, and Chihuahua too! And finally, we can’t forget about our other furry friends...Cats! Cats can get a standard mat removal/brush-out or a Lion Cut which looks exactly as it sounds.
