D.R. Dog Care Grooming and Training

D.R. Dog Care Grooming and Training Dog grooming, behaviour and training services by Deirdre. Founded in 2002. This process removes dander and dead old coat from the dog.

What happens when I bring my dog to be groomed?���
The dog is assessed with the owner and a cut is discussed and agreed. ��

Factors include:
�coat condition
�medical conditions
�temperament
�breed
�whether the dog sleeps indoors or outside
�The weather and season
�Cost

The grooming process �

�All dogs are washed with a choice of shampoos including Tea Tree, Natural, and Flea repellant. The

a**l glands are expressed (if requested).
�The coat is blasted semi dry with the Mega Blaster. It reduces shedding and improves the condition of the coat and
� They are then placed in the cabin dryer, where they can sleep and relax while luke warm air finishes drying the coat. This avoids having to use a handheld dryer on the sensitive face and feet of the dog. They are supervised constantly while in the dryer,and most dogs enjoy a nice sleep and relax!
�They are then placed on the table and a silicone conditioning spray is used. This makes the cost easier to brush, repels dirt and leaves a lovely shiny silky coat. Finally the coat is clipped / scissored according to customers wishes. Nails are cut, ears plucked / cleaned and a finishing spray, such as vanilla cupcake � used to freshen and condition the coat.
��The owner then collects their pampered pooch ,and tries to keep them clean before their next appointment !!

🎉 Puppy Parents! Let’s Talk Socialisation 🐾

There’s so much confusion around what true socialisation really means for your pup! Many well-meaning efforts can actually do more harm than good. So, let’s break it down and make sure you’re on the right track to raising a calm, confident dog.

🔴 Socialisation is NOT:
• Throwing your pup into chaotic situations like dog parks or daycare.
• Letting them greet every single dog or person on walks.
• Allowing strangers to invade their space with unwanted pats or kisses.
• Forcing your untrained pup into noisy, overwhelming environments and hoping for the best.

✅ Socialisation IS about:
• Teaching your dog to interact calmly and appropriately in controlled settings.
• Showing them that ignoring other dogs on walks is perfectly fine (and actually better!).
• Advocating for your pup by telling strangers when it’s not okay to approach.
• Gently guiding them towards healthy behaviours instead of reacting with fear, aggression, or over-arousal.
• Building their focus so they see YOU as their most valuable resource.

True socialisation is about teaching your puppy how to exist calmly in the world—not pulling, panicking, barking, or lunging at every distraction. Exposure alone isn’t the magic key—guidance is everything!

The ultimate goal? A dog that stays calm, confident , and focused on you, no matter what the environment throws their way. 💕🐶

Ready for the big day🫶🌲❄️☃️#DogGrooming #dog #doglover #cavichon

So many heartbreaking attacks on people these days by dogs. 💔 Training and putting boundaries in place are important but also is an understanding of what any breed was originally bred to do. Not every dog will show a high level of genetic driven behaviour but when they do it’s useless to try and fight against it. Understanding how to allow them to practice that behaviour in a safe and appropriate manner, under control, is paramount. Trying to suppress this behaviour inevitably leads to frustration and frustration leads to aggression. #dogtraining #dog #workingdog #bullbreed #restrictedbreeds

Little clip from my online course ‘Zen your dog’. This is a little clip from lesson 3- in/out. Rita demonstrates going in to a crate on command and staying until invited out! Invaluable lesson in self control and learning to love the crate!!! Visit link in bio to learn more! First lesson is FREE!!🤯🔥👍🐾#dogtraining #positivedogtraining #puppytraining

Sound proofing puppies is best done before 8 weeks when they are open to new and novel experiences-this is why a responsible breeder/rescue will be paramount to you getting a perfectly adaptable puppy! #positivedogtraining #doglover #puppy #puppyrearer #puppy #puppylove #puppy #puppyrearing #puppyhabituation socialisation
