So relaxed and composed in the salon now. Such a change from when he first came to me terrified of the clippers. Half an hour of games and desensitisation was all it took initially and now I'm always careful to give Merlin a reassuring touch with my free hand and never to approach with the clippers without letting him know first. Time given when needed always pays off in the long run. A fantastic outcome. Happy dog/happy groomer!

Reassuring each other for their freshen up. This lovely pair live together so they got the salon to themselves and took it in turns to be washed and desheded. A little unsure but a few treats got waggy tails!

A day of 2 halfs. One dog parent wanted to keep the coat extra long for warmth so I worked through the coat making sure all tangles were dealt with. The other dog parent was advised that a much shorter than usual cut would be sensible as they are on extended holiday and don't want to come home to a matted doggy.

Listening to requirements and adapting grooms. Very happy to be of service to these two! 😍

Puppies ❤

I have had a few puppies in recently and several with curly coats that will need a lifetime of brushing and grooming. It's so important to introduce the grooming process to them as soon as they have had their 2nd vaccination and vital to start a home brushing routine with correct technique and tools. Otherwise the baby coat will mat up very quickly and so sadly the kindest solution is to clip off very short.

I offer a free consultation for all puppies and their owners! Please get in touch before it's too late and the coat is tangled and matted.

Puppy intro sessions like the one in the video are then advised before a full groom is booked. Otherwise the pup can be overwhelmed and frightened. Trust building first. This gorgeous girl got a little face and foot trim and was introduced to the noise of the clippers and dryer in her first session with lots of treats and games in between.

Please get in touch with any questions.

A double wash and conditioning treatment with a great deal of brushing on this beautiful collie, to finally let the comb slip through a glossy coat! Silky smooth🚿🧼

Sometimes a lovely short clip off on a spaniel is a win/win . For the sea and muddy puddle loving spaniel the shorter coat means he dries off faster, resulting in a warmer dog through the winter months…and his owners have significantly less mud and dirt brought into the house. Everyone is happy and looking very smart! 🐶🛁 check out the before and after pics🌟

Beautiful Mieke.

Lots of new customers to get to know and establish relationships with. Building trust slowly but surely. This graceful boy hated the clippers so we didn't push and used scissors instead. Although he looks unsure in the photos he left the salon relaxed and secure. 😊

A lot less hoovering for the foreseeable for Margots parents! The pile on the left is wet and what comes out in the bathing/blasting and deshed treatment part of this groom. I love a good deshed!

No funny faces needed to be able to see properly after his groom today 😉😏😊 Handsome Yogi is another success story.

This lovely boy came to see me for the first time today..along with a little 'groomer anxiety'! With positive reinforcement and a very careful eye kept on his stress levels and strategic breaks and games we made friends pretty quickly and got him beautifully clean, brushed out and tidied. One to one grooming at its best. He was soon back home relaxing on the sofa. Where else!!!! 😍
