Second session and he tried to jump on before I'd got the harness on. No food treats this time just lots of praise.
If you are interested in booking your dog on to a free taster session please give me a call.
Midges first session on the Firepaw. We spent about 5 min with lots of treats before I started filming.
Still Digby...for some reason I can share two clips on one post.
This is nothing short of a mirical. To say Digby was 'extremely stressed' being groomed is an understatement. However, look at him now.
I sent this clip to the trainer and we had some great feedback. I could honestly cry I am that proud of this boy.
This is Digby. This is MASSIVE. No muzzle, and I'm not being over confident or flippant. I don't want to get bitten any more than I want to put him in the position where he has no alternative but to bite either the nozzle or me.
I have been working with a trainer/behaviourist not to train your woofers, but to train and educate me. I got to a point with two of my boys where things weren't progressing so I got help. This was Digbys 2nd groom with my 'new attitude'.
This is how we 'roll' at Woofers...New boy Joey...First ever groom
Meet Rusty. Rusty is not very brave. When he first came to me he cried constantly. When he wasn't crying he was plastered to the floor. Over the last year I have worked with Rusty to build his confidence. Today he stood...yes...honest...for his whole groom. We has abit of whining but he got himself on and off the table and in and out of the bath. He also stood while I blow dried him.
Well done Rusty.
Grooming the big fluffy woofers.
Top tip...before brushing, give them a blast with a warm hairdryer to loosen the coat.
Maisie nose trim.
This is my poster girl Maisie. Building trust each groom. I love her to bits.
I have hold of her ears to keep them out of the way. I can feel the tension in her neck increase, so I give her a little massage until she relaxes and then continue triming her face. Even though her growls are not empty threats I try not to move away from her but rather keep still and make sure I'm not tense.
I did muzzle Maisie for the rest of her groom.
Reactive dogs are welcome at Woofers. Please call me.
Not your usual approach to grooming
Meet Buster. This is how we roll at Woofer.
