The Calm Groomer

23/11/2024

When a dog starts to calm down ,start to feel comfortable or starts to trust you they will start to blink and lick their lips. They can also lick their lips if they are scared too but the combination of the two together normally means they are calmer. By lifting the tail and rubbing under the chin this can send messages that all is ok and that they’re strong and able to cope with what’s happening. See how she relaxes and is not as stiff like a statue towards the end. I touch the dog in different place so that their nervous system can re boot and they can be more concise aware of their body. This can be done with T Touch or a brush or just touching and rubbing. ❤️🐶

Beautiful Candy it was so lovely to meet you. You were so shaky but by the end you were lying down and calm.

🐶Nervous dogs I feel are the most miss understood dogs in this busy world . Each dog that comes to me I treat with respect and space, as I do not know anything about the dog it's back ground or its history.
All dogs are born with one of the five behaviours / caricatures this is to make a pack work together as each trait helps the pack in different ways.
A fearful nervous dog most of the time is born like this and it can get less fearful / nervous with an understanding owner and experience or if not can gets even worse.
Most dogs in rescue homes are fearful caricatures.

I've seen dogs that have had fits of panic attacks and screeching of fear I've seen dogs that freeze with fear and are so slow in moving. So it's really important especially to a reactive or nervous and fearful dog that you take your time and move slowly and quietly around them not giving them much eye contact squinting is a good idea too.
Looking for each next stage of their body language as you go along. Understand dog language is the best way to understand your dog.

Bina you were such a pleasure to groom❤️🐶
Tip; it’s a good idea not to get your dog clipped off with clippers if it has a black hair as this will kill the pigment in the hair follicles and over time you will have a what groomers call it a “salt and pepper
coat”, basically it will have white bit of hair and the shine will go and look dull.
Also by clipping some hairy breeds it doesn’t matter what colour coat this will make the coat softer and weeken the quality of the coat and this will make it mat up quicker. thinning out or hand sc******ng is better. Some breeds should never be cut short as this can damage their coat forever! you see this trend in Pomeranians they hand scissors or clip short it looks cute but it’s really a disaster for the coat. Some breeds are clipped short for their breed standard to so that’s ok if you like that.
Some groomers will opt for clipping with clippers as quicker in busy parlours. I tend to hand scissor as I’m quick and I prefer the end result so not damaging the coat .❤️🐶

Good advice from our fantastic new local vet in town ❤️🐶

Happy Haloween from Mojo Vets!🎃

Halloween can be a fun and exciting day for those who celebrate, but this time of the year does have its dangers for our pets - here are 5 things to avoid during the autumn months.

🍫 Chocolate and sweets - There are lots more of these around at these time of the year, it's important that we are careful to not allow our pets to get their paws on these as they are often poisonous!
🌟 Glow sticks - These glow in the dark decorations often make our pets curious, but we need to keep our pets away, as the chemicals inside are irritant, causing mouth pain and stomach upset
🎆 Costumes and noise - These can cause a lot of stress to our pets. We recommend keeping your pets indoors on Haloween and upcoming bonfire night, to help your pets feel safer, and consider using a pheromone spray such as Pet Remedy to help keep pets calm
🌰 Acorns & conkers - Please be aware that these can cause stomach upset, and potentially damage to the liver and kidneys, so keep an eye out for them when walking your dogs in the woods!
🍄 Mushrooms and toadstools - Another hazard to watch out for during woodland walks. There are many varieties of mushrooms and toadstools, some not harmful whilst others are.

If you need any advice on these hazards, please do give us a call on 01424232450

We hope everyone has a fun and safe Autumn!

the_calmgroomer Ah Woody what a delightful dog. Woody the Cockerpoo had a hand scissor and a thin out all over. Nails, a**l glands, ear clean bath and blow dry.
Building trust up with a dog is paramount you don't know them they don't know you and you don't know what good bad experiences they have had in the past.
Trust and calmness❤️🐶
