Jax needed a groomed to cool down for summer... (but he still has long hair?!)
A dog does not need to be shaved down to cool down for summer. (Especially when mom prefers him scruffy 😍). The fur can be a barrier between the sun and the skin! I often recommend shaving the belly short, so your dog can lay down on a cool floor to help regulate their temperature!
And of course, always give your dog access to shade, lots of water, and if they like, water to play in!!

Dog dental health is SO important! Serious health conditions are linked to neglected tooth care and dental disease. Proper dental care can extend the life of your pet! ❤️

This is a great post from Passionate Paws!
I encourage every dog owner to take a moment to read it 😊🐾💕

•☆• Are you Enabling Your Dog? •☆•

Being an enabler means unintentionally reinforcing unwanted behaviors in your dog. If you reward your dog with attention, petting, or treats when they’re anxious, fearful, or overly excited, you are only reinforcing those states of mind.

❤️ You Get What You Pet ❤️

For example, comforting a scared dog during a thunderstorm might seem helpful, but it actually reinforces their fear. Instead, wait until your dog is calm & relaxed before giving affection. If this doesn't work, try to get them walking around or do try doing something physical like Doggy Push ups ("Sit", "Down", "Sit", "Down", etc). Just get their body moving. 9 times out of 10, if you can get their body moving, the brain will follow instead of getting stuck & shutting down.

Set clear boundaries & be consistent. If you don't want your dog to jump on guests, make sure everyone follows the same rule. Mixed signals can confuse your dog & reinforce bad habits.

Remember, timing is everything in dog training. Reward the behaviors you want to see more of & avoid reinforcing those you don’t. By setting clear boundaries & being mindful of your responses, you can help your dog develop into a well-behaved companion.

⚠️ Did You Know? ⚠️
Chronic anxiety, stress & fear can negatively impact a dog's overall health & potentially shorten its lifespan. Just like in humans, prolonged exposure to stress hormones like cortisol can lead to a range of health issues in dogs, including weakened immune function, gastrointestinal problems, & heart disease. Additionally, stress & anxiety can lead to behavioral issues that might result in a lower quality of life.

Dogs, by nature, prefer to feel safe & secure, & it is our job to teach them proper coping skills in order to achieve that. They don’t enjoy being in states of anxiety, stress, or fear. These feelings can cause significant discomfort & can lead to destructive behaviors, excessive barking, or aggression.

Ensuring your dog leads a calm, happy, & stress-free life through proper training, desensitization, regular exercise, mental stimulation, & setting clear boundaries can contribute to their long-term health & longevity. By recognizing & addressing the sources of stress, anxiety & fear in your dog's life, you can help them live a stress free, more enjoyable life together.

Keep your dogs toothbrush/paste somewhere you will see it! (Like the kitchen sink!)

You all know how much of an advocate I am for proper dog dental hygiene! And we are all guilty (even me!!) of forgetting to brush our dogs teeth.
During our move, I kept forgetting until I put the toothbrush by the kitchen sink and now we are back to brushing 3-5X per week.

Further tips!
It's never too late to start. A big part of dog hygiene is just being able to LOOK into your dogs mouth. The mission is to make the brushing process tolerable (for both you and your dog- NOT a power struggle). This goes for ALL grooming procedures. Start off with slowly and focus on building trust. The mission doesn't need to be to GET ALL THE TEETH BRUSHED!!! It can be just to peek in and then being able to touch their teeth. Then maybe toothpaste on your finger and onto their teeth (YUM!). Then introducing the toothbrush- even if its one tooth at a time! Work slow with your dog and back up a step when/if a struggle starts. The key to success is trust.

YAHOOO!!!
A day late posting and not quite fully set up (hello mop in photos and artless walls 🙈😆) but we are IN ACTION!!!

What a great feeling it was yesterday to be behind the table, scissors in hand and creating the art that is dog grooming! I have felt a bit lost these past few weeks (Home Depot, Rona+, math, and measurements are not my areas of expertise 😆) But all for THIS!!! A perfect little salon! Here is a BIGGGGG shout out to Jeff and his team , Jordan and John with and biggest shout out to my incredible hubby, Cody for bringing this all together. I am so grateful for all your hard work 🥰🤩🙌

Thank YOU for being so patient and allowing me to reschedule or send you to a fellow groomer friend in the meantime. I will be working hard over the next bit to get caught up again and getting all the little doggies Springtime ready!!!

NOTE: The salon is in the REAR of the GARAGE. You can park to the right of the garage with easy access! 🐾💕
