Ellie's Dog Pod

Failed attempt (or multiple attempts) to get a photo of the fabulous Murphy, so here is a slo-mo video for you to enjoy instead! 🤣 💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾💙🐾

Now there's a doggie who absolutely LOVES the dryer!! Just look at that tail 😆 💙 Roddy 💙

Adorable Molly 💕

About 10 minutes in of Harper’s de-shed! I think she needed that 🥰 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Thomas and Echo were in for their grooms today and both of them were like velcro following my feet everywhere. So I thought I’d record it as it was so cute….and instead this happened!! I think they made a secret pact to play a joke on me 😂

Meet Bertie 💙 Unfortunately I couldn’t get a photo as he enjoyed barking (or singing) for the ENTIRE groom , so I opted for a video slo-mo instead 🤣 Such a cheeky chap 🐾

Post-groom Puggy playtime 😆 Hilarious brother and sister duo, Willi and Stella 🐾💙🐾❤️🐾💙🐾❤️🐾💙🐾❤️🐾💙🐾❤️🐾

The very cute and dinky Daisy….in for her very first puppy groom and absolutely loving snuffling for treats whilst under the dryer 🥰 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

“Hey Bonny, are you ready for your bath?” 😆

Molly rocking the “extreme close up” pose 😆

Who’s up first??!! 😆

On Tia’s first visit she was so super nervous with every sound spooking her and we just took everything really slowly. Today she was just a super chilled pup; this was her chosen “ear de-shed” position and she even kept falling asleep stood up too 🥰

Believe it or not, Zeus is just a puppy so needs a bit of down time during his groom 🥰 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Willow….after her first ever puppy groom! Not a single tangle in sight and just so calm, settled and compliant. Look how fluffy she is! 🥰 In the grooming world a puppy like this is known as a magical unicorn on the basis that they are a thing of dreams rather than reality 🦄 😆 See you in a few weeks Willow for your big girl groom 🐾

Hello Harley 😍

Little snorer Joy 🤣💤💤 This little bundle takes me hours to groom as all she wants to do is sleep….at least today she helped me by falling asleep standing up 😴

Coco going for the delightful diva look…because she’s worth it 🥰

And in the turquoise corner weighing 40kg we have Harley the gorgeous Old English Sheepdog (who absolutely rocks a slo-mo video) 😂 ❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️🐾❤️

Today I had the incredibly sweet Liquorice in for a groom, a Cockapoo who really dislikes being groomed, to the extent that he growls and tries to bite. He has been sent home by a groomer before for showing aggression, but actually the grooming process just pushes him way out of his comfort zone. So today a successful groom was going to be judged by how much we could do with his permission, and not how perfect he looked at the end. We needed a muzzle at first, but then with a couple of breaks, some gentle coaxing with treats and trimming his face a little while napping, we managed to get through the entire groom together. His face isn’t trimmed evenly, and we didn’t manage a bath but he left happy, and so was I. Holistic grooming is about working with the dog, reading their signs and adapting to help them through…and he did good! Well done Liquorice! 🥰
