My new Buddy! This lovely lad visited me this evening for a freshen up & tidy in time for the big day 🎄

I typically forgot to take an after picture - but just look at that face!
Buddy is so loving and stood really well for his grooming. He absolutely loves getting in the bath and getting a good shampoo massage (who doesnt?!😍🫧)

Good job sweet boy, thank you 👏

Another day another deshed! This mornings visitor was the beautiful Arya 🫧
We achieved great results removing her excess Winter coat shed today 🧼

Arya is in her golden years and has some arthritis in her back legs, meaning we allowed for lots of sitting breaks and took extra care with handling and paying attention to her comfort 🫶
Arya's pawrent stayed for her first session in my home, assisting with safe lifting and allowing for a trusting rapport to build between us. As a qualified vet technician herself I loved picking her brains too! Thank you both & clever girl Arya 🐾

Incredible de-shed transformation for Spirit ✨️ ➡️

Coat blowing season has well and truly delivered!
I visited Spirit at her home for a grooming session today. Mum & I were dubious about her tolerance of the HV drier but she 100% wowed us with her attitude!👏
Her trusting bond with Mum shone through as she let us both work through that massive undercoat 🌟

My new bestie showed her thanks by smothering me with kisses before bounding outside in typical Husky fashion to roll around on the cold, wet ground 🤣😍

Luca the Labrador and his Dad came to visit me for a puppy introduction session and first bath today! 🫧

Puppy introductions are pressure-free sessions where we begin to train your dog with safe handling practises on the table and gently introduce the (strange) equipment we use!🚿 These sessions are centred around giving plenty of praise, treats & positive reassurance❤️

Luca didn't enjoy his first time with the drier much but with Dad close by he felt much more assured and was a really good boy. Tolerance of the drier will build over time 🥰
Super proud of you Luca, what a good boy 👏

I encourage all pawrents to remain with their pooch during their first session(s) with me🐾 This allows your dog to become familiar with new surroundings while still having their pawrent close! It also allows them to see the trust that their human places with me and allows you to understand the grooming process, giving both you and your pup valuable peace of mind.

Functional trim for my floofball ✂️

Between wearing his fleece outside and the heating cranked up inside, a shorter trim suits Toby's lifestyle much better during the colder months ♨️❄️

Good boy Tobes, my perfect practise pooch😍

My mate Stan back on the table today for a coat reset and pamper 🫧
Christmas jumper ready and free of matts & tangles for the big day! 🎅🎄

I love experiencing that sense of teamwork with a pooch on my table, cooperation from both sides is key to a successful grooming session. Thanks for trusting me Stan, I see your confidence growing 🥹👏

My own confidence is building too with those cute lil face trims!✔️

❄️DECEMBER❄️

Happy December and Hello snow! ☃️

December will be intently quiet over at CKC as I continue to build my administration, training & work towards completing my current University course 🎓
I also have a super exciting opportunity to look forward to in the New Year that I cant wait to share with you!🐾
Toby & I are keeping busy behind the scenes and we wish you the happiest holiday season 🤩🎅✨️

Time to de-bunk the myth that cockapoos don't shed!

Although not the usual culprit for hairy sofa cushions - poodle mixes do build up a soft, dead fur undercoat that gets trapped in their textured fur and easily forms matts ✂️

A good brush a day keeps knots & tangles at bay!👌

🐩 Poodle Practise 🐩

This photo was taken before I scissored and blended those poms in🤦‍♀️ super grateful to family letting me practise on their fur children!

My Grandma's miniature Jazz visited me for a practise groom today! We are growing out her top knot✂️
This was a HUGE challenge for me and Jazz stood like a star. For a first time styling solo and so early on in my practical training, I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Poodle feet are my new favourite thing to do!

I can't wait to look back on these in a year, and then in 10 🥰 so much room for progress but so much time & learning still ahead of me 🐩

Another Monday another mini groom! Bath, HV dry, nails trimmed, ears cleaned & some de-matting in today's session ready for a full groom 🫧

Today's star is Stan the Cavapoo, who is so polite and loving! I've had lots of kisses today 😚 Stan the man loves a good shampoo massage and was super happy to watch the world go by as we worked on his coat. Stan's Mum is waiting patiently for me to offer full grooms to get his coat nice and tidy again for Christmas 😄

Rolo came to visit me at home for his mini groom and feather trim this weekend!🫧

Rolo is a 9 year old Springer I've known and adored for a few years; his wonderful family trusted me with his first professional grooming experience today. Our session introduced him to some new equipment such as the drier, which he really wasn't keen on. It's my priority that dogs in my care remain fear free, so we will carefully build up Rolo's tolerance of the drier across future sessions💖

My goal for every dog on my grooming table is for them to remain calm, comfortable & cooperative - mutual respect is everything! (Treats help) 🐾

❓️️Why choose a home-call groomer?

⏰️ Ideal for busy pawrents who struggle to find out of hours/weekend appointments.

🚘️ Convenient for those who may not have access to transport.

📣️️ Ideal for dogs who may struggle in the salon environment or who are reactive around other dogs.

🐕 Beneficial for senior dogs who require more care, patience & time throughout their grooming.

🤝️ I operate with full transparency; this allows you to stay with your dog throughout the grooming process should this be favourable.

🏡️ Your dog remains at home where they feel the most safe; my goal for every service is for your pooch to remain calm, comfortable and cooperative throughout.

😄 Dont worry, I won't leave you with a slippery bathroom floor and furnado to clean up afterwards! I endeavour to keep any mess to a minimum and clean up after myself. A full disinfect of the bath/shower area is included as standard practise. I do ask though that customers remain realistic of this expectation when it comes to drying those coats that shed 🥰🐾
