Looch, the Yorkshire Terrier has been coming to see me since his 1st puppy trim. I am grateful for his Dad for following me from my last salon to my own home salon.
He enjoyed his 1st 1on1 salon day with me. Getting pampered with deep conditioner, nail grinding and undivided attention for his cute self.

Maya is one of my sweet senior clients. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart.
As groomers, we watch these dog grow with age, and we watch their coat change and their bodies change. We learn to adapt to their needs with these changes that time and age bring. Standing can be harder, especially for long lengths, so we let them lay when they can. We use belly bands to help hold their weight when we need them to stand. We make sure that they get extra breaks, cuddles, and check in with them often.
Their groom may not be show worthy, and there may be some.things that are not perfect with their grooms when they get to this age. However, I always make sure to my very best to make sure they are comfortable, matt free, and stress free.
After a lifetime of groom and a lifetime of unconditional love and loyalty to their parents, it ia the least we can do as groomers!

In case you missed him on our "Story". This is Stout the Miniture Schnauzer. He was in a few weeks ago for his very first groom and got an Introduction to Grooming Trim.

This, of course, includes the bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, and sani Trim. However, due to the fact that all of the above can be a lot for a puppy to handle their 1st time(sometimes 1st couple of times) we only Trim their face, feet, and f***y,

Stouts Mom and Dad have been practicing face holding and sensation exposure (vibration just like our clippers) at home as well for his next groom.

This helps set Stout up for success with future grooms. Giving him the knowledge of what to expect and the confidence that he can do it.

Stout did well for his 1st groom, and I can't wait to see how he does for his next appointment coming up this May.

Oreo, the Havanese mix, has a special place in my heart. Looks at those adorable brown eyes soo cue. It's he smiles that get me, tho!! Check out the last Pic for that great smile and out of focus shots, lol. Did I mention it was her smiles that get to my heart.

She sees me every 7 weeks to keep her is tip top shape. She gets the same.cut everytime #5 kennel cut with puppy ears and short flag tail.

Milo the Golden Retriever is just a little under a year old. He is high-energy and loves to say hello to everyone.
This was my 2nd time grooming him, and he has come so far already with his behavior. The first time, we were not able to do a trim on him due to safety reasons. When you're a friendly golden jumping and spinning and trying to say hello to everyone.having sharp tools near him was not safe, lol. This last time, he was still his happy goofy self but was able to stay still long enough( 5-10secs at a time, haha) for me to trim up his bum legs and belly.

Milo parents have also been taking him to training classes, and they are clearly working. Great job, Milo!!! Love the progress, and I can't wait to see how far we get next time.

Got to see these two adorable faces this past weekend. Frida and Theo have been clients of mine for 3-4 years now. Their parents have followed me when I have changed locations throughout the city. I am grateful for this as I have been able to see them grow with me throughout the years.

In a quiet environment with just the two of them, they were able to show a goofy playful side of them that I hadn't quite seen yet,to that extent anyway.
It reminded me that building a bond with the animals I groom matters. It allows them to be themselves, have a good, and enjoy the process.

Gurgi the Maltese

4 Yeats ago I met gurgi and I couldn't groom him. He would thrash his head quickly and dangerously if I would attempt even combing his head, let alone let clippers near it. After building a long term bond of trust and compassion and with the assistance of meds to help keep him calm. I can now successfully groom this little cutie safely and in manner where it is a positive and enjoyable.

For those who wonder why grooming costs more than a haircut.

Grooming is hard work and so much goes Into making your pets look and feel fabulous.

Makeover day for this lovely lady who is a Shih Tzu Mix this past weekend.

Her parents wanted a longer cut that would give her a little bit of protection from the cold weather. As well as being short enough to maintain easily
They went with my recommendation of a 1/2" kc with a shaped face, and we tidied her ears and tails.

Shih Tzu's are a breed that usually has a drop coat. Therefore, their fur does not truly protect them from the cold in our harsh Alberta winters. Their coats act more like a windbreaker, providing a thin layer of protection from the elements but not providing any true warmth.

Dolly, the gentle Giant, has been a client of mine for 4-5 years now. Newfounlanders are a giant breed with a thick undercoat that needs regular maintenance and grooming. Dolly is on an 8 week schedule where she gets a de-sedding treatment and a tidy on her outline. 4 weeks after her full groom, she comes in for a nail trim, brush blowout, and touch-up. #dogs #yyc #yycdogs #newfoundlanddog #giantbreed #giantbreeds #giantbreedlovers #doublecoat #doubledcoateddog #doggroomersofinstagram

Willow the Yorkshire Terrier. Willow is a long-time client of mine who's mom found me after I switched salons. I get to see Willow every 6 weeks. I absolutely adore her and love spending time with her. #yorkshire #yorkshireterrier #yorkie #yorkielove #dogbath #doggroom #doggrooming #doggroominglife #doggroomersofinstagram #Petstylists #petservices #petcare #petlovers #lovemycarreer #lovewhatyoudo #lovemyclients #loyalclient

The sad reality of working in the animal industry. Animals and dogs do not live that long, unfortunately. As a dog, Groomer and Petsylist, you get brief moments with the animals you work with. Sometimes, you need to be reminded that those brief moments that they get with you may be their last. Make these moments count!! Show them love, compassion, and kindness. As every moment and experience counts. I truly love the bond I build with my clients( dogs mostly) and their humans at times, lol. Today, I am grateful to be able to do what I do, and I hope it made a little bit of difference in a positive way for Bear. #doggroomersofinstagram #doggroominglife #doggrooming #doggroomer #groom #petstylist #petservices #petservice #petgrooming #petcare #petindustry #pets #petstagram #petsofinstagram #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #seniordog #seniordogs #seniordogsofinstagram #shihtzu #shihtzulovers #shihtzugrooming #compassiongroomer #lovemycareer #lovewhatyoudo #lovedogs #loveanimals #lovepets

It is kennel cut season. With the warmer weather approaching many are getting their dogs nice short kennel cuts to help their dogs with the heat. As long as your dog does not have a double coat, this is a great way to help them keep cool as well as easy maintenance for you at home. #doodlesofinstagram #doodle #groomersofinstagram #summer #dogs #dogsofinstagram #doggrooming #doggroomer #petstylist #petgroomer #doggroomersofinstagram #kennelcut #summerdog #easymaintenance #keepcool

Cleaning tools last night before my first shift back

Cleaning and sanitizing guard combs. I have been off work for 2 weeks on paternal leave. I was halfway through my shift when I got a call from my partner that it was time to go to the hospital. So didn't get a chance to clean and sanitize my tools. #backtoworktomorrow #clean #sanitize #guardcombs #groomer #doggroomersofinstagram #doggroomer #groomersofinstagram #petstylist #petservices

Newborns come with new scents, new sounds, new things, new structures, and new rules. These changes can be stressful for pets. Making sure to spend some quality 1 on 1 time with each of them makes all the difference. #newborn #babyanddogs #babyandpets #smoothtransition #pettips #dogtips #1on1 #qualitytime #boxerdog #rottiecross #doglove #stressfree #happyhome #new #newthings #newscents #newroutine #newrules
