A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF & CHATEAU DE CHIENS

Born in England but moved to (WA) Australia in 1977. Spending the last 20+ years in the beautiful heritage City of Albany. I have always been surrounded by dogs, with my earliest memory of a German Shepherd named Sheba. I formalized my love for grooming at the WA Grooming Academy and then went on to participate in as many workshops as I could. Including

, but not limited to:

Asian Fusion – Pammie Carmichael-Hogg (UK)
Asian Fusion – May Wong (NSW)
Asian Fusion – Valerie Khoo (Malaysia)
Poodle Grooming – Jacki Ainsworth (WA)
Poodle Grooming – Mellissa Bouffant (WA)
Seminar - Angela Anderson (NZ)

During lockdown, I have participated in Virtual Grooming Competitions (as I get anxious in crowds) including:

MasterGroom UK 2020
MasterGroom Canada 2021
Maryland Grooming Comp 2021

In one of my many lives I qualified as a Complementary Therapist, and am passionate about finding ways to work around physical and emotional states that interfere with a dog experiencing an enjoyable grooming experience. In 2020 I enrolled, and became a Certified Fear Free Groomer with IMDT (International Modern Dog Trainers) and completed the Perfect Puppy. ABOUT CHATEAU DE CHIENS (House of Dogs)

Little Waffle has been coming for loves since she was a pup. She has the thickest coat, it takes ages to dry but she chills and lets me do my thing lol
Today she also had a keratin treatment on her ears and tail. With summer coming , coat dries out, so it's a good time to start building it up.
Congratulations to her people who have been doing a wonderful job of keeping her coat matt free... 👏👏👏

It's been a week for doggos post or pre op.
Fergie has just had knee surgery and Mannie is about to...

This beautiful boy is Eddy. He's been through the wars but is now off to Christchurch to meet his forever family.
Huge shout out to all the volleys for driving the many rescues around.
Much gratitude to Donna Doolittle's Animal Rescue Kaitaia for their great work.

It's been a bit too long since this young man was in. His coat was fully blown, leaving just the short, soft undercoat. He's a good boy, and just lays there and lets me make a fuss of him.
Ideally, he would come every 4-6 weeks. Not 6-8 months 🙏 This would allow various stages of growth to present. Now with just the porous downy coat he will attract more dust and seeds and has no water protection. Mum was happy with the results... Yay

How adorable. Please note, the colours used by groomers do not contain ammonia or harmful chemicals. They are non toxic. More complex patterns are often completed in short sessions over a few days. The pups love all the attention they get too.
Remember, grooming is not just for health and wellbeing, for a groomer it is an art, a craft some spend their whole lives mastering...

For my anxious clients (pets that is), try the spray before coming for a groom. Great also to help with anxious travellers 🙏

Keep your pet feeling at ease in difficult situations with CaniComfort and CatComfort by Beaphar! 🥰

CaniComfort sprays, collars and spot-on treatments use a copy of the pheromone naturally produced by mother dogs when they feed their puppies, which is critical to the bonding process 🐶

CatComfort spray and spot-on calming products use a similar pheromone to reduce problem behaviours such as excessive meowing, aggression, fighting, hiding, or anxiety 🐱

Looking quite pleased with himself... Savvy likes to help with the drying process 😂

Savvys turn

Alfie's first spa day

#ilovesmithandburton Louis has tight curls and his coat is quite dry. I love the way his coat came up after his bath.

And Savvy has started to venture around the spa by herself..

Pinot loves his spa day. It always feels so good to see him relax and be able to take care of his very senior body 💕

What a day... Early morning pick up... Pinot, Savvy and Kendra...

So sad

It's all about the 💕

We'd like to introduce you to Bazz. Such a big day for him. Caught the ferry from Russell, then drove all the way up to me 🙏 I groom his mum's poodle when she's up from Auckland and when her partner brought Bazz, an 18wk old toy poodle x Skye Terrier (not Foxy) to keep him company, he didn't know he was going to take a nasty fall (dad that is). Bazz was on the bed with dad, when he fell off and broke his Tibia 🤦🏼‍♀️ Unable to move around too much and dad unable to manage upkeep, mum asked if I could help. Of course I can 💕🙏 Bazz was pretty sleepy on Fentanyl and bathing was not possible, but with lots of cushions and accurate handling, we ended up with a tidy first groom. Nothing to show off, but so happy he was in no way stressed. Well done wee man. See you when the cast comes off 💕 #chateaudechiens #fearfreegrooming #fortheloveofdogs #kerikeridoggroomer
