Pawsitive Dog Grooming Services

· Minimising stress and offering one to one attention is a priority.

· My appointment system strives to ensure your dog will be the only one on the premises during their treatment and they will have access to the fully enclosed, dog friendly garden.

I have had a lifelong passion for dogs, and wide experience handling and treating varying temperaments and breeds. I have voluntary and paid experience working for various charitable dog rescue centres as well as overseeing care and treatment in a specialist dog behavioural centre within the SSPCA. I also spent time volunteering in Africa with outreach projects and educating on dog welfare.

I left a career within Police Scotland to follow my passion and my heart. I trained to City and Guilds Diploma Level 3 with an internationally recognised trainer who has the highest achievable dog grooming qualification – The LCGI (Licentiateship Award)

The following treatments are included in a Full Groom:

· Bathing – I use specially selected products taking into consideration dogs’ requirements, including products for irritated or sensitive skin, odour eliminating and insecticidal treatments.
