Lovely Luna waiting in the shade to be collected.. isn’t she beautiful 😍
☀️ Today was an early start to ensure these pups were feeling cooler for this very warm weather ☀️
Are you looking for last minute dog care…?
The wonderful Katie at Country Canines in the Colne Valley have had some cancellation from 28/8 - 13/9 and also 19/8-23/8.
They also have Odd days for daycare available on Tuesdays or Thursdays
⭐️ All over night stays will need a trial overnight before they can be booked and all daycare guests need to have a introduction session .. so if you need the above get in contact with Katie as soon as possible to see if your dogs meets all the criteria ⭐️
So many of my clients use these guys and they all look like they are having a BLAST
Little Bailey came in for a good trim and freshen up.. she was so good ❤️
I have stairs for my senior dogs so they can get into the bath and on the table. Table is covered with a lovely fluffy towel for comfort and they can sit as much as they need to - harness is used to support the dog and help with handling ❤️
Andddd breatheee.. yay! I made it to the end of the week!!!
Full of gratitude for my job but some weeks can be challenging.. so glad I can be there for all the dogs that need my support
HAPPY WEEKEND ( I will be on admin duties this weekend to catch up!) ❤️
Photos of Newbies.. Poppy and Rosie!
A good tidy for the lovely Bertie.. so good for his first visit ❤️
Little Pip ❤️❤️
Penny came for her usual de shed treatment ( the hair removed was insane!!)
Penny use to go to the vets for her nail trims where she would be put through sedation to get them clipped.. three sessions in and we are managing to get her nails trimmed which is FAB! 🥰
Confidents with the dog is key, understanding behaviour is 100% required - both of these will bring trust between you and the dog.
This is Tim.. Tim is currently carrying out some work on the main lodge building to the rear of the house ( in the back garden)
Tim will be in the back garden and there may be more noise than usual.
As I do look after a lot of anxious dog’s I have reached out to those who I feel their dog may struggle with the noise / gent on sight but please do message if you have any concerns.
Sorry for any inconvenience caused but the noise will be kept to minimum where possible and the work will be completed as soon as possible 🙏
It’s that time of year where I am removing lots of these grass seeds (Foxtail plants) these are every where at the moment and cause some serious harm to your dogs health.
If you notice your pet repeatedly sneezing, pawing at their ears, coughing or acting uncomfortable, these could be signs that one of these guys are causing your dog issues. I always advise clients to check between toes, ears and arm pitts and if sneezing .. check the nose.
The may look harmless but if they make their way into the dogs body they can be fatal.. worried and want your dog checked over between grooms then reach out ❤️
My Friday night… remember i am insured to stay over and take care of your pets for you.
Me and Ruby had a wonderful walk up Marks hall this evening and now it’s full ON cuddle times for all of us ❤️
⭐️ This service is only available for my grooming clients ⭐️

“ My short haired dog does not need grooming I can hose them down at home after walks”
- Who is cleaning around your dogs bum and hygiene areas? Most people allow dogs on sofas/ beds and around kiddies.. how clean are these areas..?
- Who is cleaning your dogs ears ?
- Who is trimming your dogs nails ?
- Do you have a shedding treatment at home for their coat to release dead coat that makes them hot, uncomfortable and covers your home?
Tully the greyhound comes every eight weeks for all of the above.. LOOK at all the hair and that’s just after his shedding treatment!
It also a great plus that I will offer a health check each visit and can identify any changes or anything that may need treatment / vet visit.
Recently I have identified burst abscesses, ear infections, skin infections and even a mouth tumour.

Today… I feel just simple FABULOUS and that is down to being recommended to people for my approach with their dogs..
I have had an influx of dogs that have had some awful experiences at previous dog grooming salons, come from abroad or rescues and have past trauma ( Thankyou Sharon for your wonderful review below)
Thankyou to all of you that come to me because you appreciate my skills, my qualifications and my approach to grooming. This is all just the start of my journey to change the grooming world by educating owners and groomers.. and i am sooo excited!
☀️ I rewarded myself were a lovely long run in the sunshine ☀️
The Holistic Grooming Academy
🏴 Maggie the English Bulldog 🏴
This breed can struggle with skin allergies and also sores in their wrinkles.
These Wrinkles can easily infected due to moisture sitting in the wrinkles and remaining moist.. if the wrinkles are deep this moisture will also not be aired (aka the perfect environment for bacteria to grow)
It is crucial for owners of this breed to clean out the dog's wrinkles as much as several times per day. Especially when the dog eats or drinks.
Maggies mum keeps on top of Maggies skin between grooms and is currently using the Bulalugs wrinkle range ❤️
This week The Holistic Grooming Academy received recognition from the ABTC ( animal behaviour and training council) for their commitment to an ethical and science-backed approach to dog training and behaviour methods.
“While we are first and foremost, a dog grooming organisation, much of our concepts and methods are based on behaviour and training methods making us more competent in working with dogs in a kind, effective and ethical way”
“Much of what we represent steps into the behaviour and training world more than conventional grooming practices, placing us in a unique position somewhere between the grooming and behaviour/training worlds”

This morning Finley has come for his usual pamper. Finley is a very high energy dog so needs a distraction to be able to complete the groom.. Licki May and peanut butter is the choice today ❤️ Finley has a harness on so that if he looses concentration with the licki Matt he does not hurt his neck with a noose and he can enjoy the peanut butter without restrictions on his neck. The harness is something he wears daily so is very much use to wearing it. ⭐️ These breeds can sometimes be stereotyped as “ naughty, full on, hard work” this is not the case - he is a dog that needs stimulation to keep his mind busy ( a little bit like a kiddie with high energy) and it’s our job to cater for his needs - every dogs needs are different ⭐️
Why have I chosen the holistic grooming route..? I studied at a very popular college for dog grooming and although I did not witness them carrying out the extend of the attached video.. most of the techniques they taught and the general well-being of the dogs was shocking. Some weeks it was unbearable to be in the classroom watching how they was teaching the students how they should go out into the world and groom dogs. Some students may of felt the same way as myself and recognised there is kinder ways to groom a dog .. but sadly a high majority of groomers will go into the grooming world working in this manner and thinking this is the only way “ this is how we was taught” and until we re educate these groomers and owners the cycle will continue. I have joined the Holistic grooming academy to work with other like minded groomers to try and break the cycle of this way of grooming… The attached clip was on “ dog behaving badly” this show is aired frequently for dog owners to watch and think this method is ok.. this is the owner attempting to groom her dog due to the dog being “ banned” from grooming salons locally… no dog should be banned from being groomed it just needs more work to improve there journey… Some groomers may throw the word “ holistic” into their business name but what makes them holistic… also research this… as it can be just used to attract clients..

Desmond… 2nd jab due next week and we have his first groom in the diary. Planning grooming for your puppy should be just as important as getting their first collar/ lead or thinking about the perfect dog trainer ( Matt Help with Hounds 😉 ) I offer a puppy package that slowly introduces your puppy to the environment and process whilst also building their trust with myself. I can not wait to meet this lovely boy and his family ❤️🐾
Seen most kinds of weather since being at the little lodge and it looks pretty in all of them.. Beautiful spring/ summers having fun in the garden before and after grooms.. extra cuddles and treats for cosy winters ❤️
‼️NECK NOOSES ‼️ I have written a wonderful piece on this subject but due to insta grams restriction on amount of text this information is all on my FACEBOOK page … please please please pop over and take a read .. this magical video of MILO goes alongside it
So so special… Hugo had been coming to me for a couple of years now so it was so special to show his new little brother the grooming process… ❤️❤️❤️
It was the morning.. 🫣 Just a quick video on brushing - who would attend a brushing tutorial…? I am thinking maybe combine this with a kiddies version so that the children at home can also get involved - great time for bonding to get those coats perfect!! ❤️ Comment below if you would be interested and I will get a plan together :)
What a good boy Otis is.. I love when I get the treat box out and se what tricks the dog shows me ❤️
I am trying to get in the habit of doing more videos to show the the work I do behind the scenes ( HATE videos of myself! 🫣 ) but I think it’s important to show why I call myself a “ Holistic groomer” I have completed courses and done extend behavioural courses to be that little different. When you look through my work you won’t just see a dog standing there with a finished groom.. their tongue hanging our their mouth panting with a noose round their neck… WHY? because this is not the world I want for my dogs.. ( just have to put up with the rambling and follow my journey to find out more!) ☮️
