Zoey the Doodle has come such a long way in such a short time!

Her first groom, she was muzzled the majority of the time. She absolutely would have done a little taste test of me! Very reactive and defensive.

I moved slow, allowed her to have her feelings without discipline, while continuing the task at hand. Any accepting and calm behaviour (including yawning, burping, panting, and any other action that showed tension release) was met with praise or a small break.
She learned that she is safe no matter what her feelings are, but that the show must go on!

Zoey is booked every 6 weeks for grooms and gets a nail trim in between to experience a quick, safe interaction to maintain our positive relationship.
Fast forward to today, groom #3.
While Zoey still holds tension, she no longer needs a muzzle and lets me handle her without going into fight or flight. I was able to move and manipulate her without any outbursts and even got some tail wags during a couple of our reward breaks!

Good job Zoey!

Baby's first haircut!
I LOVE giving dogs a positive first experience to help set the tone for the regular grooming they'll need for the rest of their lives!

Cat Appointment Deposit:

Due to the overwhelming percentage of cat bookings that result in a no-show or last-minute cancellation (im guessing 50%!!), there is now a 50% deposit required at the time of booking.

This deposit will be put toward the groom total. Deposit refunds will be issued if notification of cancellation is sent within 48hrs of the appointment time. Beyond that timeframe, the deposit is non-refundable.

If you do not show up, and I'm not able to fill the spot last minute, I simply do not get paid. 💸

Enjoy the HUGE change in Maeve's appearance after her hand strip appointment!
All winter, her wire coat grew and grew. So she was plucked down to the wood to allow for some nice, wiry, new growth :)

Little ol' Jelly might not seem like she needs much done, and she doesn't, really.
But she still enjoyed a medicated, anti-itch bath followed by a soothing deep conditioning treatment.
This included a nail trim and ear cleaning.
Good girl, Jelly Bean!

Today, we're back from an extra long dog show weekend in Brandon!
(back to regular hours starting Feb 21st)
I'm so happy to say that my girl, Siberian Husky Unicornhill Tattle Tale (Meadow), has come home with her new Grand Champion title!
With a working dog group full of worthy candidates, both dogs and handlers, I was honored to have Meadow be awarded Group 1st by Judge Pat Taylor during our final show.

Claude the aka really said.... 🎵 Didn't I do it for you? 🎶
And yeah, he did!
I love him!
As you can see, he has orange on his front legs. He took the liberty of trying some Orange Crush 🍊, And apparently, it will stain your dog a vibrant, neon orange 🙈

She's old, she's cold, but she feels SOOOOO much better now!!
Little lady, Izzy is 20 (TWENTY!) years old, and was severely matted.
It was a pretty high risk groom, based on her age, her very loose skin, paired with her super tight mats. But all went well, and Izzy was in great health and spirits ❤️

Boy was that ever satisfying!! If I could end every day grooming a Pomeranian, I'd be happy. Not to mention the satisfying before and after.
Mochi is showing us how it's done!

Vintage (6 years ago) White Wolf Pet Grooming comparison.

The difference between a filed nail and a clipped nail!
If you're not getting the nails filed, are you even getting a nail trim?
I clipped the nails to the point where I could see the quick. The dremel allowed me to smooth and bevel the nail as well as take the quick a little shorter to help it start to recede, allowing for a shorter nail in the future.

Long, but hopefully informative post!

Doodle Booking Policies:

New Doodle clients wanting a spot on my schedule must be booked every 2 - 8 weeks. Exceptions are made for wire coated, and smooth coated varieties.

⭐️Every 2 weeks: This is for those of you who love to keep your dog in a fluffy style. This doesn't necessarily need to be a haircut every time, but a bath/blowout/brushout are your best way to maintain the coat on top of your at-home brushing schedule.
This is also helpful for families with allergies who didn't quite get the hypoallergenic dog they had hoped for. This will lower some of the allergens in your home.

⭐️Every 4 weeks: This schedule is ideal for people who like a fluffy style and want to keep the length maintained with a haircut every 4 weeks. Or for Doodles in a shorter style, this could be an alternating schedule of a haircut one appointment, and a bath/dry/brush the following appointment.

⭐️Every 6 weeks: Ideal for a mid-length style or for those of you who just like to keep a fresh dog in a lower maintenance style. A full service groom every 6 weeks might be what you're looking for!

⭐️Every 8 weeks: This schedule would work for those of you with short- mid haircut dogs who do your own full bath/dry/brushouts at home. Or if you do no maintenance and like a short style, this will hopefully keep the matting to a minimum before the next scheduled appointment.

Doodles/Poodle Mixes are fun to groom!❤️
But they can be pretty high maintenance when it comes to upkeep.
As a professional, luxury dog groomer, I feel it is my responsibility to help owners keep their pets well maintained and advocate for proper care.
The idea is not to brush out mats when they form, but to prevent them from happening in the first place. By doing this, you avoid damaged coat, an uncomfortable dog and a painful brushing experience. Clean coat is SO MUCH easier to care for!
I have found that brushed out mats re-tangle twice as quickly the next time due to damaged coat.
Dirty coat also mats twice as fast.
A dog who is bathed and not fully blow dried and brushed all over all the way to the skin will also mat twice as quickly.
In order to keep your Doodle's grooming experience positive, and to be able to provide my clients with the grooms they desire that are best tailored to their lifestyle and amount of at-home maintenance they're willing to do, I've come up with this Doodle Booking Policy.

This policy will also apply to any breed of dog that might need more maintenance than it is getting. I would love to help get you and your dog on the right track 💕

If you have any questions about which available schedule might be best for your Doodle (and other breeds too), their coat needs, and your desired haircut, please reach out!
I am also happy to discuss at-home maintenance, required tools and products with existing clients.

Piper the did not want her groom to end today. She kept jumping back up onto the table while I was cleaning up. She wasn't going to take no for an answer 😂
Gotta love those high drive dogs, bred to work and please!

We as groomers absolutely develop bonds with the dogs that come into our care.

Baby Coco's first haircut!
She had some moments we needed to work through, and other moments of confidence and understanding.
All in all, I'm proud of how much lil' Coco progressed in one grooming session.
Here's to a future of relaxed and happy grooming experiences ❤️

Sweet, elderly Coco. Looking as young as ever.
Aside from the lack of teeth ❤️
