This time next week this event will be halfway through. I'm really looking forward to presenting on Resource Guarding and how it can present in the grooming salon. I'll be giving some real life examples of what I've experienced with client's dogs as well as my own, along with practical tips and tricks on how to manage episodes, both as groomers and guardians.

The reason I chose this subject is because the lovely Sonia Fetherling presented on this at the ABK conference I attended back in July. Not only did I get so much out of what she said, I found out that Atomic Habits by James Clearly is also one of her favourite books!

If you'd like to learn a little bit more about canine behaviour without getting bogged down by confusing science-speak, sign up to join this event today. For just £25 you'll get access to 5 hours of information that will help not just groomers but other pet professionals and guardians alike.

Hope to see you there! Link to sign up and get more details is in the post below.

I talk with my clients a lot about breaking things down into micro-micro-steps when introducing new experiences to our dogs.

How many minuscule steps do you think Katie and I had to break the process down to ensure Henry wasn’t pushed over his own individual threshold of tolerance to get to this point?

Drop a note below of any of the small things we might have had to consider to ensure Henry, previously a very pessimistic dog, would continue wanting to be a part this picture ⬇️⬇️

Thank you Rosecroft for taking things slow.

Patience pays off🥰

I’ve had a couple of fabulous days beefing up my business knowledge. Have come away with lots of energy and some amazing ideas on how I can better serve my clients and grow Happy Henry’s! In the right direction.

Thank you canine.business.academy for the boost. Looking forward to implementing some exciting things in the near future.

Wonderful to connect with other positive pet professionals too.

BRIGHT SPOT FRIDAY

What little wins have you noticed this week. No matter how tiny they may seem, shout about them below.

One of my bright spots this week?

Looking out of my bedroom window and watching the leaves gently fall from the tree outside. Autumns coming and and I get to put a cosy sweater on🤗

Happy Friday everyone. Have a wonderful weekend!

DOES YOUR DOG HATE BEING GROOMED & HANDLED?

❗Foundation Games for Happy Handling Online Mini-Course (Version 1.0) is having it's FINAL SALE❗Reduced to just £15.99🎉

Creating my first online training programme has been an eye-opening and often hard journey and I've struggled at times to stick with my belief of its impact. However, with constant feedback from others, I've learned lots and am excited about beginning work on Version 2.0 next.🥳

As an holistic groomer and games-based trainer with a certification in canine behaviour, training and welfare, I have found the majority of dogs who come to Happy Henry’s! for help with struggles in connection with handling and grooming lack optimism and confidence.

It is possible to change the way your dog feels about being touched and groomed. It’s not magic and it can take time and patience but you know your dog is worth it.

I created this first mini course because I want you to get excited like I got excited. I see transformations in all of the dogs that cross the doorway into Happy Henry’s!

📌Through this mini course, you and your dog will learn some tools to enable them to put up their paw and opt out for a moment, just like I do at the dentist's.

📌The goal is not to complete a task. The goal is to improve and change the way your dog thinks and feels about the task. These games are the start of that journey, helping to build trust with your dog and make them feel safe.

📌If you sign up today, you’ll have access to the first Happy Henry’s! mini course for life so can go back and review anytime. Live check-ins with the private community will continue so you will always have access to help and support.

To find out more visit https://happy-henrys.co.uk/further-learning, or scan the QRCode. Just £15.99 to be part of a kinder, gentler grooming community and have fun.

💥Come join the fun and be a part of a kind, gentle, and fun community. Anyone who signs up BEFORE JULY 31 will be given FREE access to the next course when it's ready.💥

BRIGHT SPOT FRIDAY

What have been some of your little wins during the last week? Keeping track of all those little things will help you when you and your pup hit a blip in the journey. There will always be a blip (hate to tell you this but training is never linear) so looking back over where you’ve come from will really help you stay on track.

Some of my wins?

🐾 I was invited to record episodes for two different podcasts this week. Both will air sometime in October so stay tuned for updates.

🐾 I registered to begin studying again in October (this time for Level 6 Canine Animal Behaviour). the more I learn about our dogs’ brains, the more dogs, guardians and groomers I can help.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
