Demoted to 1/8th unicorn 🦄 but scissors are scary so I don’t really blame him. Sweet boy before and after. ❤️

Well I wouldnt say he LOVED it. But unicorn puppy status still holds.

He is not impressed by his unicorn horn. But he did so well for his first groom prep work that he must be at least 1/4 unicorn. 🦄 🐶 I’ll let you know how he’s done after the big scary blow dryer.

Teddy learned if he plastered my face with kisses I would have to pause the hair cut. With a face like that though how could I protest. 😍

Timbit was very camera shy but such a superstar for her groom we even got in a French braid. 😍

Back in a shop! I loved teaching, shaping new baby groomers. Giving them the foundations in safety and compassion above all else. But I missed this! ❤️feels like coming home.

Gracie did not want to stand on the table. Every time she was asked to stand up she would limp noodle for her groomer. I asked Cailey to imagine being afraid of heights, up on a table with some one you don't know and then that person repeatedly lifts you to stand over and over. This immediately changed the way Cailey approached asking her to rise and boom what a difference. Gracie began to trust her groomer and so she felt comfortable standing on the table to finish up her groom!

Emily was pleading to me that she's too old for her grooming now. She's had 14 years to perfect those puppy dog eyes

I have been busy this week teaching a grooming academy to a couple of fantastic ladies. I've taken on a new role in the company and will be the Grooming Trainer for Eastern Ontario and Atlantic Canada. Most of my time will be spent helping young new groomers develop a passion for a career that really compares to nothing else. It's pretty amazing to share with them the love I have for grooming and watch them grow and develop into safe, kind, loving groomers! 💕

It's my job to help the dogs feel safe and calm while they're in the salon. Sometimes they do the same for me. This beautiful girl had such a sweet calming personality. It was such a pleasure having her on my table.

I love meeting new dogs. This beautiful lady was an absolute super star for her first grooming with me. ❤

Lots of puppies are coming in for their first hair cuts. Since we've been on lock down they have very little or no grooming experience. This can make it pretty scary for them. I do everything I can to make sure they have a good positive experience but ther eare some things you can do at home to help ease them into it.

Usually the sounds of grooming are the scariest part. Taking an electric toothbrush and rubbing the handle all over their body, head, under ears, and in pads of feet, can help expose them to a sound and vibration like the clipper. Make sure you dont make this a game though. Keep it calm and lots of positive reinforcement.

Bring them in the bathroom when you're blown drying your hair. This will help them know the sound and feel then rush of air before they come in to us.

Of course keep playing with their feet, and regular brushing. Most importantly go with their lead. Dont force them through anything, give lots of praise and continue to slowly and consistently introduce them to the new sounds. This will help make everyone's first grooming experience a positive one!

While making dogs look pretty is one of the reasons I love my job, what I really love is building relationships with them. This guy has been a client for a long time, they really do become an extension of my family. I love being able to provide a safe welcoming environment to every pet I come into contact with. ❤

Cinnamon is just as excited as we are to be able to welcome pets back into the salon tomorrow! Appointments will be available for emergency cases first, hopefully next week we can start booking in our regulars as well!
