Peaches
Meet Peaches 🥰
An 18mth Malinois/GSD. Unfortunately, Peaches has had negative experiences with previous groomers, on both occasions she was returned early to the owner due to her dryer fear. So we start a fresh, slowing down the groom and observing triggers. She made good choices today, choosing the peanut butter stuffed chicken instead of attacking the dryer. It’s also important to consider the breed; Peaches has a high prey drive so placing the dryer in a static position helps her to cope and not be overwhelmed. She wasn’t completely dry but the goal today was to gain trust and give her a new positive grooming experience. I’m very proud of her 😮💨☺️

Working on Boxing Day isn’t everyone’s idea of fun but a loyal customer needed a late favour and I was ready to assist 😮💨 I certainly had fun and This had to be done at my house as a large breed he needs lots of breaks as do I! Arthos took over 5 hours and was super chill as usual 😊 See comments for afters….
🥵🥵 Archie had the sleepy eyes during his bath and de-shed. He was definitely feeling the relief 😮💨 I make some adjustments during warm weather, including water temperature and reduced drying times
Wait for the end to see before and after 😳🥰
How many times have I heard “my dog doesn’t need grooming, he’s a Labrador”.
I love a good de-shed 😊🐾
There’s nothing more satisfying than a new doggy customer enjoying a thorough de-shed and warm deep clean. Ghost was really in the zone 🥰🐾
Bring your dog to work day. Today was one of the few days Doobs didn’t work with me, he usually does, depending upon weather and locations. He loves nothing more than hitting the road with me then snuggling down whilst I work. He’s an old boy now with wobbly legs but has the same enthusiasm to ride shotgun. 🥰🐾
After a couple of grooms, Bear is starting to relax more and even get sleepy. 😊 I’ve earned his trust and he’s making great progress. He really enjoys the attention and is feeling so fresh and so clean 👏😁😁🐾
So I try And work as cleanly as possible, but sometimes the door trailer has to stay open especially if it’s warm. And I always have my hoover on stand by. But I make no apologies for this; my own clean up crew searching out nesting material. I love spring 🐾🥰
First holiday in 2 years. Feels good 🐾😎
