How can you resist these ears?!?! Oh my goodness Jojo is absolutely adorable. Don’t tell him I said so, it might go to his head 😉 Jojo belongs to one of my husbands daycare families, he’s just a puppy, the last two times I did his nails I did them in the front entrance with the family around. Today I whisked him away for his very first experience in the salon/ to trim his nails on the table rather than in my lap and my goodness did he ever do good! I wasn’t too sure how he would do being carried away from his family and being up on a high table but he was great, he was brave, a little unsure about being up so high but brave enough to check it all out. He did excellent for his first nail trim without his family in the room.

I am beyond impressed with how well Walker is doing lately. Today I saw a confident wagging tail when he was getting his breaks. We got a full trim done and my goodness this guy impresses me with how good he is for his nails! The real win for today is when we went for our post groom walk and then sat down on the steps to bask in the sun, oh my goodness it was a beautiful afternoon, and he decided to snuggle in and rest his chin on my arm! Made my day that he is feeling comfortable enough with me to bask in the sun together!

Mack came in earlier this week and honestly, he did better than I expected him to do with everything going on at home right now. He said no no no to his face being trimmed at the time so we sent him on his way with his tail wagging and head held high. He came back today for his face trim, while he still wasn’t a fan of it, he wasn’t hiding his head in the corner and tolerated it well enough we were able to get it done.

Timber is always such a good boy when I see him for his baths! He is such a sweet guy and so well behaved 💛 🩵

Tika and Coco came to see me today. Coco is not a fan of her front legs being handled, between lots of breaks and switching to shears instead of clippers we were able to at least get them trimmed down so she didn’t look like she was wearing snow pants 🤣 she is really good for her face as long as I let her rest her chin on my hand rather than holding her steady.
Tika likes to steal the show, she is happy to be groomed as long as it means she’s getting attention! Poor Coco had to keep fighting her way in for her turn LOL

Well today I reached a whole new level of crazy dog lady giving Zuzu her best life and keeping her comfortable! This little lady has a health concern that has me doing everything I possibly can to keep her as calm and low stress as possible. She was all about the snuggles, if I tried to do something with Sadie, Zuzu was hopping at my feet getting all excited, being on the table with Sadie wasn’t doing it for her she kept trying to climb onto me. I lowered the table so I could sit and groom Sadie while Zuzu snuggled in my lap but I didn’t feel quite right not having a hand on Zuzu and not being able to give Sadie my full focus. I started racking my brain about how I could give her hands free snuggles 💡 moment. A baby sling would be perfect for this girl. I don’t have a baby sling on hand anymore so I rummaged through my old photo backdrops and found a piece of fabric that would do the trick. Voila instant hands free doggy snuggle wrap 🤣 Zuzu was so pleased with this that any time I pulled her out of it and put her down to stretch her legs she would instantly hop at my legs again asking to come back up LOL whatever keeps you happy Zuzu girl, even if it does make me look like a crazy dog lady!
Sadie really impressed me today. We were able to blow dry all of her, including her face a little bit. I think she enjoyed being able to be close to Zuzu while we worked. We were able to trim her legs pretty well today. She’s not crazy about her front legs being handled so it’s always very gentle holds and rests and different angles to trim them so it’s not perfect but today was a good day! Her face is always a struggle for her. We’ve tried different holds and different tools with little success. Today I noticed if she can’t see she will sit quite calm for short periods of time. Realizing now that she does okay with not seeing we can figure out how to work with that and get her more comfortable with the face trims!

Dante spent some time basking in the sun before we brought the blow dryer out today and I would say it was a great way to start off our visit! Typically sensitive about the blow dryer anywhere past his shoulders, today we were able to fully blow dry his chest and both front legs and we were even able to touch one of his ears with the air briefly before he said no thank you. Super impressed with how well he did today. Maybe we should start our visits off with basking in the sun more often!

I met Harley today and oh my goodness my heart melted for this adorable little guy. He is so sweet and calm and gentle 🩵 💛 he even obliged my request for snuggles and more snuggles! Harley is 18 years old so I was busy working around his comfort, mobility and comfort. He sat just like this for most of the groom. He let me blow dry his body but wasn’t crazy about the dryer on his feet, legs and bum so we let him air dry/ he did go home a little damp. He did not like standing up on his back legs so I could get his belly and sanitary area shaved really quick and smooth (big surprise that he wouldn’t be comfortable with that) so I opted for a different position that kept him on three legs at a time instead of being held up. He was comfortable enough with this position, we even shaved in there a little bit while he sat. It did not make for a pretty belly but it did make for a happy comfortable Harley!
It was noted when booking that Harley does not like his nails being trimmed, to the point that he sometimes gets nippy. Knowing this information before he arrived I was prepared to explore his feet and nails before we did anything else. After he had his chance to check out the salon a little bit I put him up on the table to see just where his aversion to nails starts. I tried holding his feet in a couple different positions watching his reaction with each touch and position. He gave very subtle cues to what he didn’t like, a quick look at my hand, a light tug to get his paw away from my hand. I found a position he was comfortable with with no reaction and then I put him back on the floor and proceeded with other tasks before we did the nails. When we got to the task of his nails he had already received plenty of breaks and snuggles and time to himself. We got through three feet all at once without him even reacting to me trimming his nails. When we got to the fourth foot he was starting to lick my hand, acknowledging this as his very gentle way of saying he doesn’t like what I’m doing I gave him another break five minutes later we were trimming the nails on his last foot without any complaint.

Mack did so good for his visit today! We were so close to being all done when he started hiding his face in the corner to avoid having his face trimmed at that point we called him good enough for today and sent him home. He will come back in a few days to finish trimming his face after he’s had a break!

Maverick always gives me the biggest saddest puppy eyes you’ve ever seen come picture time, I couldn’t believe the confident dog I saw on my camera today!

11/05/2024

This girl did so good today! She usually sings in the bath but last time half way through her bath she stopped singing and the quieter bath time carried over to today! She really dislikes her face being handled/ brushed but today she laid down on the table and we were able to gently brush her face all the way out without fuss! I couldn’t believe it! She was getting a little restless as we were getting closer to her back end. We will start at the back and work our way forward next time! Hoping we’ve cracked this nut and will continue seeing her calmer happier girl for her grooming sessions!

Babes is such a good girl for grooming, the only thing she complains about is leaving her house. She sure puts on a good show and tells her owner all sorts of terrible things to convince her to not let me take her. As soon as we are past their fence though she is happy to go for her walk and hang out with me 🤣 she’s such a drama Queen. Today after her bath I put her down on the floor for a minute then I sat down on the floor nearby. As she looked at me out of the side of her eye (because she refuses to look right at me) she ever so slowly started sideways scootching closer to me 1” at a time. She ended up snuggled right up to my leg, still not impressed that we are making her pretty and less stinky but clearly not as upset with me as she tells her owners. Don’t worry Babes, I’m sure it only takes a matter of an hour or two before Charlie has you smelling like home again!

Tosh is such a pain in the butt his owners take holidays just to get away from him 🤣🤣🤣 just kidding, everyone loves Tosh, he is such a character and full of love and play and stubborn determination 🤣🤣 he is actually a very good boy and quite agreeable for most of the grooming process. There are two things he doesn’t care for, one being the dryer on his head. He will accept the smallest about of drying on his head before he says no more but the fact that he is willing to do even just that tiny bit is great! The other task he doesn’t like is his nail trims. He wiggles like a cat come nail trim time. Between breaks, interspersing them throughout the groom and different tools we have been able to get them done with only a little push. After his last visit I told his owners to remind me to do his nails first thing this time around. I’m glad I told them to remind me because I forgot 😬. So today we walked into the salon, I set him on the table, I didn’t even take off his leash or my jacket. We were done two feet before he even realized what was happening! His one front foot he fussed for a little bit, once we figured out the right position for him we were able to get the rest of his nails done without fuss! I’m super impressed with the difference doing the nails first made, we will definitely try it again next time.

Oddie came to see me today for her monthly bath, brush and nail trim. It’s definitely not her favourite thing to do but she always feels so good when she’s done!

Bruce is very pleased with himself that he got his way and only got a little face trim instead of taking it super short. He did super good for everything today! I’m quite impressed with how well he is doing….. and his ability to jump my half wall with ease 🤣

Had I realized earlier on in the groom how heart shaped Hulks eyebrows are I may have just given him a pointy chin to accentuate that heart shaped face 😅

And here we have it! Septembers Pet of the Month winner is ……….. Congratulations!!! I’ll touch base with you right away here!

Congrats to our winner!!!! I’ll touch base with you for your prize details!

Every time Hoover sees the camera come out… 🤣🤣🤣 I try to be sneaky so it doesn’t look like I’m taking a picture but then he’s just wandering around on the table waiting for whatever is happening next 🤣

We have a winner!!!! Congratulations! I’ll touch base with you right away here :)

I tried going live but it’s just not working for me this morning. Here we have it May’s wheel of names for Pet Of The Month!

Yaha I did it right this time with the help of the kids! LOL PET OF THE MONTH WHEEL OF NAMES!!!! Everyone who came in in April was entered to be pet of the month. Winner receives $10 off their next groom and an extra little goodie from me. This months extra little treat is a hand painted pet portrait on a stepping stone from La Rocks by Design!

I had to share picture taking with these two and their crazy head tilts. This is what trimming Kiwi’s head is usually like except for faster more erratic movements. I couldn’t help but giggle at hoe TicTac’s mannerisms are so similar to Kiwi’s. Please don’t judge me for the hair on the table and you might want to make sure your volume isn’t too loud I am right in front of the mic making all sorts of noise 🤣

Okay okay one more. Bruno has the best smile ever. He has done this from his very first visit as a puppy. I’ll be honest the first time I saw it I wasn’t too sure what to think but it is 100% excitement and smiles. What a sweetheart.

Congratulations Mylo!!! Vicki, I’ll be in touch with you in a little bit. 😁

This beautiful lady is a flirting with Fido pup from years passed. She has already found her furever home but she got to hang out with the puppies today because it was so quiet! I was quite impressed seeing her learn to jump a training bar in just a few minutes of practice. The things dogs will do for doobie snacks treats! The ladies were marking good behaviour with dehydrated beef lung. I admit this is something I’ve never heard of before for treats. They are a lean treat and can be up to 80% of a dogs daily intake so they are an excellent training treat!
