Important Updates and Courtesy Reminder from Bad To The Bone 🐾

Dear Valued Clients,

I have a few important issues that I need to address

🐾 Firstly, I want to clarify a recurring issue that has arisen recently. While I’ve been receiving numerous inquiries from individuals in America, I want to emphasise that I am based in the UK. I appreciate your understanding and attention to this matter.

🐾Secondly, I would like to address some important reminders regarding appointments and communication. As someone who takes great pride in providing a holistic and mindful service, I kindly ask for your cooperation in a few areas:

1. Appointment Notifications: Please make every effort to keep me informed about any changes to your scheduled appointments, including cancellations or rescheduling. This allows me to manage my schedule effectively and accommodate other clients and my own personal needs.
2. Timely Payments: Ensuring timely payment is crucial for the smooth operation of my. I kindly request that you adhere to the payment terms outlined in our agreement to avoid any inconvenience. I should not be chasing most or my clients for deposits or payments after services, it adds yet another reason I feel as if I am not taken seriously or respected for the service I provide.

I want to take a moment to share some personal insights with you. As a neurodivergent individual managing conditions such as autism and ADHD, I deeply value clear communication and routine. Being mindful about communication, respecting commitments, and keeping me informed about changes in the routine are essential for me to provide the best service possible. It can be dysregulating when expectations are not met or when I’m left in the dark about important updates.

I found happiness in self-employed dog grooming, where I can focus solely on caring for lovely dogs, has been life-changing for me, especially after battling to manage any kind of employment due to my neurodivergence. However, it’s painful when I’m unable to fully enjoy what I love due to negligence from others.

Additionally, due to the physical pain and limitations associated with my conditions and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, I’ve had to transition to even more casual hours to ensure I can rest appropriately and deliver the quality service you deserve. This adjustment adds another layer of difficulty in managing appointments and rebooking clients, as I have limited capacity to complete a high volume of grooming sessions in a week.

Your cooperation in these matters is deeply appreciated and helps me maintain the high standard of service you’ve come to expect. It’s been quite disheartening to navigate these challenges your support encourages me to persevere through the challenges posed by my conditions.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

🐾🐶 Dear valued clients,

I appreciate your continued support and understanding as we strive to provide excellent grooming services for your furry companions. At Bad To The Bone Dog Grooming I take great pride in our work, ensuring that every dog receives the care and attention they deserve.
I wanted to take a moment to address any delays in our response time or groom times taking longer. Unfortunately I have been suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome and due to personal chronic health considerations, I have transitioned to part-time hours. While this change has allowed me to prioritize self-care and manage certain disabilities more effectively, please rest assured that it in no way compromises the quality of our services.

Your patience and understanding during this time mean the world to me. I am committed to providing the best possible grooming experience for your dog, and I will strive to respond to your inquiries as promptly as possible while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

For new clients, I kindly ask for your understanding as I may take a bit longer to respond to initial inquiries. Your cooperation in providing details about your dog's grooming needs, along with a recent picture, will greatly assist us in tailoring our services to meet their specific requirements.

Existing clients, your continued loyalty and support are deeply appreciated. If you have any questions or concerns while awaiting our response, please don't hesitate to reach out. We are here to assist you and your furry friends in any way we can.

Thank you for entrusting Bad To The Bone with your pet's grooming needs. I look forward to continuing to provide top-notch service and care for your beloved dogs.

‼️ WE’RE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR NEW DOGS 👀🕵🏼‍♀️🐕‍🦺🐾 ‼️

Since joining the team a couple of months ago, Dee has built a lovely relationship with her current group of dogs and she is now looking to expand her pack.

We are on the hunt for friendly and sociable dogs to join the family - dogs will be joining walks which are paired or in small groups 🐶.

Dee currently has availability Monday - Thursday for morning, lunchtime and early afternoon walks; there is also availability for home visits 👣🏡.

If you or anyone you know is looking for a new dog walker, please do send them our way - thanks as ever for your ongoing support 🐶💖🐾.

Ever wondered why our dog grooming sessions take a bit longer? It's all about creating a paw-some experience for your furry friend! 🐾💖

We believe in taking the time to make each grooming session enjoyable and stress-free. Our approach is especially beneficial for nervous dogs who may need a little extra TLC. 🐶✨

‼️IMPORTANT UPDATE‼️ I’ve been suffering with carpal tunnel syndrome in my wrists/thumbs exacerbated by a soft tissue disorder. Unfortunately this may slightly extend grooming sessions as I require occasional breaks. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Your support is invaluable.

Here's why our grooming is worth the wait:
✨ Personalized Attention: Your dog gets our undivided care, ensuring a tailored grooming experience.
✨ Gentle Pace: We take it slow to build trust and make sure your pet feels comfortable throughout the process.
✨ Stress-Free Environment: No rushing here! We create a calm setting to ensure a positive and enjoyable grooming experience.

Your dog's well-being is our top priority, and we're committed to providing a personal touch that goes beyond a quick groom. 🌈🐕

The Ban - An Update

So just sat watching a live video by Danny at Unleashed - Danny Wells Dog Training and thought I would parrot some of the things he has said to help get the message spread further - Please go watch that live, but here's a summary.

The dog is going to be banned, there's nothing we can do about that so we have to start looking forwards now.

If you have an XL Bully now - you NEED to start training and make sure that things are in place so you don't fall into problems later. You MUST take responsibility for your dog. Get a GOOD trainer, and get to work immediately.

That means your dog is likely going to have to be handled very closely, so if you have issues with humans, get to work as soon as possible. Also all dogs that will fall under this ban will have to be walked on a 2 metre lead, with a muzzle on, so make sure you are muzzle conditioning immediately.

If your dog isn't seized by police, it likely will not have to go through a behavioural assessment, but if you breach the terms of exemption it very likely will be seized, even if its just from a nosey neighbour etc. You will land in problems.

Dogs will not all be seized and taken immediately. There isn't enough time or funds to do anything such.

If the American Pit Bull Terrier ban is anything to go by, the physical measurements of the dog will likely be what 'type' a dog however we think it will be broad. This means dogs that are not XL Bullies may well be collected under that umbrella!

To have your dog off lead you must be in a private field. It must be private, locked and have fences over six feet.

Get on it people. You have to put your ducks in a row now if you want to keep your dogs happy in the months coming!
