This little lady loves to have a play and a prance around after her groom so I did wonder how a quick photo shoot with my new opening hours (from July 30th) was going to go!!

With a handful of treats and a very attentive and eager model we were able to get the photoshoot done very quickly so we could all get back to some playing! 🐾 💖🌟

23/07/2024

This very timid pooch came in for a full groom (usually an hour and a half appointment), but after assessment I decided we should keep the appointment to 30 minutes and instead focus on gaining her trust and build confidence with the grooming equipment.

She was an incredibly sweet girl so with lots of praise and using the word ‘safe’ (as advised by owner) she allowed me to clip and use scissors to give her a good trim and tidy all over. This session will be repeated several more times in the future before I introduce another stage of grooming: bath and drying.

I felt a huge sense of achievement that she accepted a treat from me after the groom as she didn’t on arrival.

A little star who I know with a bit more time and patience will soon become comfortable with a full groom 🌟 🐾 ❤️

New Peanut & Pickle shampoos have arrived and I’m loving the smell of them all.

Peanut and Pickle are a natural canine skincare brand which I have been using for some time now. I love how they leave dogs coats feeling, looking and smelling 💗

This gorgeous dog came in for a groom last week, and on assessment of the coat I felt it should be handstripped and not clipped.

I don’t hand strip many spaniels but the coat was calling out to be stripped.

What are the benefits of hand stripping a dog?

🐾 The coat keeps its beautiful rich natural colour
🐾 Reduction of skin irritations
🐾 Maintains the natural coat of the dog
🐾 Keeps original wiry coat
🐾 keeps coat waterproof, keeping warmer and drier

Even after many years of grooming, trimming nails can make me nervous, especially when they are curled over like this and starting to dig into the pad.

Sometimes a dog may need to go to the vets to have them clipped when they are like this. However, on this occasion the pooch was very patient and stood very calmly whilst I trimmed away ⭐️ 🐾 ❤️

Prone to getting twigs, grass seeds and mats in dog ears, it is rare I can keep the ear hair long and fluffy like this.

I love it, and think it makes this little sprocker look very girly and gorgeous 😍💖

31/05/2024

I’ve got that Friday feeling so I’m excited to see all the gorgeous dogs that today brings.

Here’s a few from last week. I love to see all the different colour variations and styles that cocker spaniels have 🐕🐾💖

25/05/2024

Hope everyone is having a lovely Bank Holiday weekend 🐾 🐕 ❤️

20/05/2024

What a transformation this little pooch had this morning.

A very excitable and fidgety little dog, I know after an hour he needs some time on the floor to shake the sillies away!! He’s then ready to stand for a bit longer to get the groom completed.

We even managed to sit for a before and after photo today 💫 🐾

11/05/2024

A super start to the day with this gorgeous little pooch 🐕 It was lovely having some time for cuddles and play after her groom 🥰

** FULLY BOOKED in MAY**

26/04/2024

Notes like this make me super happy. It means this pooch is all booked in for its grooms up to October on days and times that suit the family. It also ensures this pooch is kept in tip top condition, avoiding the panic need for an appointment when matting starts and the weather heats up 🌟

Monday 20th at 3pm

Please keep an eye for this gorgeous boy

14/04/2024

With a combination of the weather warming up, and being open for 3 days a week (compared to 4 pre baby), I have seen a huge increase in demand for dog grooming appointments.

Most pooches are on a grooming schedule booking in every 6, 8 or 12 weeks in advance so I am now fully booked until the middle of May.

If you haven’t got your dog booked in yet, please get in touch for an appointment 💕🐾

I love the golden oldies, though I do worry about them constantly when they are in.

They often come in with lots of health problems from heart conditions, arthritis, loss of eyesight/hearing and even cancer, so I adapt the grooming around their conditions.

This may mean extra breaks for water, rest, or to move around so the joints don’t stiffen up, or provide medication mid groom.

For this golden girl I kept the groom to an hour long. I didn’t bath her but concentrated on coat work, hopefully making her more comfortable as the weather warms up. I was able to do lots of coat work with her sitting down, but also gave her a couple of breaks to potter around the groom room.

A spritz of doggy perfume and I think this glamorous girl has still got it 💗 🐾

30/03/2024

It’s a tough life having to be bathed and groomed at 9am on a Saturday morning. We’re both enjoying some time to relax, whilst one of us is taking the opportunity to catch up on some doggy zzzzzs 💕 🐾

21/03/2024

I only have 3 appointments left in April:

15.04 at 2:15pm
26.04 at 9am or 10:30am

Please get in touch if your pooch will need one of those appointments 🐾💕

16/03/2024

Its been quite a long time since I last saw these pooches so they were in desperate need of a good handstrip and tidy up to help rid the winter coat, and get ready for some spring time sunshine.

Here for nearly 5 hours they had:

🐾 a handstrip
🐾 de mat/removal of dreadlocks!
🐾 removal of a bulk of the undercoat (more to be removed once returned within 8 weeks)
🐾 thinning of hair in sensitive areas
🐾 bathed in an all natural coconut shampoo
🐾 dried using a stand dryer
🐾 nails clipped
🐾 ears cleaned using a natural ear cleaner
🐾 finished with a spritz of natural doggy perfume
🐾 lots cuddles and lots of praise along the way

12/03/2024

**FULLY BOOKED FOR MARCH**

New opening hours for April/May:

Monday 09:15 - 16:00
Friday 09:15 - 16:00
Saturday 09:00 - 16:00

As always I recommend booking an appointment in advance. This is even more important with spring/summer approaching as I will see an increase in demand for appointments💕🐾

06/03/2024

Sometimes I get a pooch in that has a sensitivity to a certain area being groomed. Most often it’s feet, but it could be a leg, the tail being lifted or in the case of this pooch it’s face!!

As soon as I get the scissors anywhere near it’s face, this little lady uses her front feet to try and knock the scissors away or darts quickly away. As you can imagine this can be very dangerous when holding scissors with a 3” blade!!

Now I‘ve tried everything from:

*keeping hold of a treat in one hand and approaching very slowly with the scissors in the other hand (distraction technique!)
* giving lots of breaks in hope she moves on from the thought of me needing to do the face
* using a lick mat with liver paste

I’m still no closer to getting near her face with scissors long enough to remove all tufts of the out of place hair, but these pooches keep me on my toes and thriving to learn new ways of gaining trust, so that one day I may be able to finish this pooches little face.

In the mean time, I still think she looks cute and more importantly we finish the groom with her still wagging her tail 🐾 💕

I’ve had a great morning grooming these 3 gorgeous pooches today.

I’m still only open on a limited number of days so please keep looking ahead, and book an appointment in advance if your pooch is going to need a groom in the next few weeks 💗🐾

Over the years of dog grooming I’ve had some dogs in which have very important jobs. From dogs joining the police force, army, being regular dog blood donars and assistant dogs.

This dog is one of those that has a very important job. It’s visits children in school. Dogs in schools have proven to help with:

🐾Learning, including reading and literacy.
🐾Self-esteem
🐾Anger management, bereavement and reducing stress.
🐾Developing responsibility.
🐾Knowledge and understanding of animals.

With all this responsibility, I think it’s fair to say this pooch has earnt a restful summer holiday break 🐕

21/07/2023

This gorgeous pooch came in for its first ever groom today, and what a well behaved and brave little pooch she was.

The groom included:

🐾a bath and condition with natural coconut shampoo
🐾 dried using a stand dryer
🐾light trim of fluffy hair along the sides, bottom area, legs and ears
🐾 nail trim
🐾ears cleaned with a natural ear cleaner

We had some time afterwards for some cuddles and a play 🐾 💕

The Cocker Spaniel is the most popular breed I see in the salon and with it comes several styles to choose from.

Image 1 shows the ‘traditional cocker clip’. The back may be clipped or hand stripped short but featherings (also sometimes referred to as furnishings) are kept long. Feathering’s are what the arrows show and include: purple arrow- the skirt,yellow arrow- front feathers, blue arrow - chest feathers, green arrow- bottom feathers. Ears and tail are kept long.

Image 2: the body is clipped, removing all feathers except for the front feathers. The tail may be kept long, or with a small amount of feathering if it has been docked. Ears can be clipped short or kept with some thickness.

Image 3: ‘all off’ All feathering is removed and the hair is clipped to the desired length. This is a good choice for the summer months where the hair can be clipped shorter. A longer blade length can be used in the winter for warmth yet remains practical for avoiding picking up mud and brambles

I hope everyone had a fantastic bank holiday weekend. Half term is over so I’m back to normal opening hours now. Ive had a fab first day back with the loveliest of pooches 🥰🐾💕

So I’m back now after the Easter holidays and open as normal. I’ve seen an increase in ticks on our pampered pooches this week so please keep an eye out for these. It was lovely to finish this dog a bit earlier today so we could play a game of fetch before she went home 🐕 💕

This Norfolk terrier enjoyed being hand stripped this morning. When the coat is blown, or ready to come out there should be no resistance in the hair. The old hair should come away easily and a vibrant, darker shade of hair is left behind 😍

I hope everyone had had a good weekend. I’ve been very lucky to have this young dog visit this morning. A little bit unsure of the salon to begin with, it very quickly started to enjoy all the fussing and pampering 🐕

Hope everyone’s excited for the weekend as much as this pooch

I can’t believe the difference in this dog. Only a few weeks ago he came in for his first visit and took a big dislike to the dryer: snapping, chasing and barking at the air I had to stop after a few minutes as I could see he was very unhappy with the process. 6 weeks later with lots of training from the owners desensitising him to noise and new experiences, and lots of treats and encouragement in the groom room and this young dog has completely transformed 🐕
