✨ Spaniel Morning at the Parlour! ✨
It was a busy morning of spaniels today all shapes, sizes, and personalities! Here they are looking extra cosy in their snoods while being dried. 🐶💕
Did you know snoods help reduce the noise of the dryers, keeping the dogs calm and relaxed during their groom? They also act like a little comfort hug and even help soak up some of the water from their long, gorgeous locks. ✨
Aren’t they all just adorable? 😍
It was definitely a fun, bouncy morning in the salon!

🐾 A Pawsitive Learning Experience! 🐾

Today we welcomed Clare from Muddy Mutleys to the college to speak with our students about canine behaviour.

Dog grooming and canine behaviour go hand in hand — understanding how dogs think and feel helps make every grooming session as comfortable and stress-free as possible. After all, most dogs will need lifelong grooms, so it’s important they enjoy the experience!

At our college, the dogs’ wellbeing always comes first. Some of our staff are even Reiki qualified and trained in Tellington Touch, helping us create a calm and positive environment. We never rush our grooms — instead, we work at a pace that each individual dog is happy with.

A big thank you to Clare for sharing her expertise and helping our students grow their knowledge and confidence! 🐾

🎆 Happy Guy Fawkes Night! 🎇

It’s officially Fireworks Night, which means the skies will be filled with bangs and bright flashes over the next few evenings.
While the celebrations can be exciting for us, they can be frightening and stressful for our furry friends.

Here are a few simple tips to help keep your dog calm and safe this weekend 👇

🐾 Walk During the Day
Try to walk your dog earlier in the day, before any fireworks begin. With nights drawing in, fireworks can start as early as 4pm. A good long walk will help tire them out and reduce anxiety later in the evening.

🏠 Create a Safe Space
Close windows and curtains to muffle sounds and block flashes. Set up a cosy den with their favourite toys, blankets, and maybe a piece of your clothing for comfort.

🎶 Soothing Sounds
Keep the TV or radio on to help mask the noise. Gentle background sound can make a big difference!

🐶 Stay Calm
Dogs take cues from us, try to stay relaxed and act normally. Giving too much attention to their fear can sometimes increase anxiety.

Stay safe, enjoy the festivities, and give your pets an extra cuddle tonight! 💫
