I enjoy every single day I spend in the studio all thanks to the lovely dogs and owners who step in!
Wishing you all the best for 2024! Happy New Year!🥳 🥂
Thanks for everything,

Ps sorry if you can’t see your doggy in the video, I try my best to take photos of most dogs that come in and the video maker made this for me😅 but I love them all the same!🥰
Oh it’s a hard life isn’t it Ronnie😍

👑 King Ted 👑 needed his morning nap 🤗
Zeke😍 as per usual Zeke comes bounding in, impatiently waiting to get in the bath, can’t wait to then get on the table and loves taking the towel out of my hands, playing with the air coming out the drier finishing with sloppy kisses! Oh and not to forget the quick 2 minute Power Nap 😅 it was my “day off” today but couldn’t help having the big lad in for “playtime”🤭
Big Boy Zeke 😍 you might recognise him from my page profile picture! Zeke has been coming to me since he was 4 months old and everytime he comes he’s bounding in, so excited to be in the studio, all he wants to do is play! The session is just one big play date for us both😅 He likes to lick the water from the shower head, eat the bubbles and the sponge. He tries to catch the air that comes out of the dryer, but best of all we have lots of kisses and it usually ends after he’s tired himself out for a quick Power Nap before his mum comes to pick him up 😝
What a character Ronnie is 😅 Ronnie has been visiting me coming up to a year now and after spending some time building his confidence just being in a groomers again, Ronnie will actually only let me dry him if he’s laid on the floor, the table is the danger zone for Ronnie ❌ so… the floor it is!
Here he is falling fast asleep whilst being brushed and last bits dried🤩 if that’s where he is happiest then that’s what we do! It’s not about forcing the dogs to fit into the grooming routine, sometimes it’s fitting the routine to the dog 🐾
Today the beautiful Jess and Beau came in for a full summer trim… and a nap after a morning of pampering too by the looks of things 🥰
“I want to be a dog groomer when I’m older”
Daisys first time using the salon equipment, bathing the best model (I’m biased… he’s my baby boy😂)
Freddie and Daisy are best friends and he was so patient with her, she went home grinning ear to ear 🥹🤩
Do you remember Ronnies last post about his first time here?
Look how chilled out (not so little) Ronnie the huskita is now, a lot more confident being bathed and dried! And still time for fusses!
This means so much when a dog can learn to trust a groomer again like this even when it could be so easy for them not to!🤩
Meet Ronnie the Huskita! ⭐️
Ronnie came to me, known to be anxious with new people and around dog groomers, he’s a great reminder that sometimes the best outcome from any grooming appointment is that the dog feels comfortable and confident, it’s not always that perfect cut, the best manners or standing quietly for the whole appointment.
I changed it up as Ronnie wasn’t keen on the table and we didn’t quite make it round to a full groom, but that’s okay, because in Ronnies eyes he’s come for a bath and a good fuss! And something to build on over time! Have a look at Ronnies morning with me today 🥰🐶
Otis came in for a good bath and trim, he was so chilled out under the hairdryer, just love how comfortable he was having his groom for such a young puppy!😍
