Really worth a read. Online bashing of anyone leaves me pretty cold but his ethos still pervades & it is so damaging.

Cesar Millan may be a household name, but not everyone is wagging their tails over his methods. Experts argue that some of his training philosophies miss the mark, creating controversy in the dog training world. Here are ten reasons the trainers are barking back.

Look at our handsome boy Red after his session with Deb’s Groom & Zoom
As Debs explains: "due to various changes in his grooming it meant on this occasion he would need to be clipped, giving him his rich colour back but also aiming to stay very much within the bracket of how the Irish terrier should be presented."
Debs loves keeping the breeds as they should look as they have evolved their individual coats for a good reason.
We're very lucky to have her on site💙💛🧡💚❤️🤎🤍🖤

This senior gentleman is enjoying the sun on his face💛
We only go a very little way & at his pace. Today I took a young poodle along too to learn he doesn't have to do everything at 100 mph!
We care for several dogs who have no desire to play or zoom about. Some just want the company of other dogs & a warm lap to snooze on.
And that is just fine.

Why yes my dog would LOVE to say hi, but I’m still going to say “no thank you” and move on. Why?

1. Because I want my dog to learn that every time we see people it doesn’t mean it’s a party for him. I’d like him to continue his focus on us together as a team and not create conditioned excitement and expectation every time we are approached by someone.

2. Because I don’t know what saying hi means to you. Will you politely touch him? Will you allow him space to move away if he wants? Will you put your face too close to his? I don’t want him to have a negative experience so I’m going to avoid that by continuing our walk.

3. Because maybe I feel overwhelmed or stressed in public places and conversations with strangers may make me uncomfortable, so even though you’d like to talk and meet my dog, I’m protecting myself too.

4. Because we’re in a rush and have to get something done quickly.

5. Because I said no. Even social, sweet, friendly dogs and their handlers have every right to say “no” to a request to meet and be touched by people. This shouldn’t just apply to reactive, worried or bubble space dogs. Dogs are not public property, and saying “no thank you” to touching my dog shouldn’t be regarded as rude or unkind, any more than if a stranger asked to hold my baby.

Please normalize hearing “no” OR even better, normalize ignoring more dogs in public. Let them carry on with their handler and admire them from a far. It would do a world of good for dogs and humans everywhere, trust me.

Not only is she super shiny, she smells gorgeous. But what I loved the most about her visit to Deb’s Groom & Zoom is that I was told they dried her by hand because she was anxious of the drier. That is a HUGE green flag 💚🖤🤎
