Sunshine and happiness🌻🌻🌻

Our little scallywags are always so happy when they’re all tidied up and ready to go home💛💛💛

If you missed any, check out the previous posts. I hope they have been of some help. Please ask if you have any questions🤔

Don’t stress if your dog doesn’t like being brushed or you don’t have the time to brush them, a low maintenance haircut along with regular visits to the salon helps👍

You never want to hurt them while brushing or maintaining their coats. I’m always very careful not to cause them any pain or discomfort. Trouble is if they have been hurt by someone before it takes a while to build up their trust. With regular visits to the salon they soon learn nothing I’m going to do will hurt them❤️

Tutorial Tuesday 🎓
-Behaviour

Most of our scallywags don't love being groomed but they tolerate it, some more than others😬

They are all different and have their own unique little personalities. It’s like dealing with a 2 year old, working out their likes and dislikes👍👎

Here’s a few things to consider…

Giving them a good run before coming to the salon, to burn off some energy for those busy little scallywags🐾

Appointment times, some aren’t as tolerant with an early morning appointment or maybe it’s their usual nap time in the afternoon, for our older scallywags💤

For some of our very anxious scallywags they are given their happy pills before they leave home💫

Any homework given is also very important, especially our puppies who are still in training🐶

They all get time to sniff around the courtyard and go to the toilet before they come into the salon, which is very important too💩

All things to help make the experience all the better for them❤️🧡❤️

Lending a helping paw🐾

Thanks to everyone that’s had to work around the district nurse visits🙏🏻

We were halfway through this little guys groom when the nurse arrived one day. He sat on the couch with me and watched the nurse as she dressed my foot🥰

6 weeks post op and it’s finally looking better! Another week of visits and we should be done🙌

Very thankful to all the lovely nurses who have been calling twice a week to dress my skin graft. They do an amazing job!! There’s no doubt our community is being very well looked after❤️

…Tutorial Thursday continued🎓
Line brushing from one of my favourite groomers🧡🩵🧡

Tutorial Thursday🎓

Have the right brush??

Do a quick test on your forearm, If the bristles scratch you, it will hurt your dog. Make sure there’s rubber tips on the end of the bristles✅

At a time when you are both relaxed, gently
'Line brush' every inch of your dogs coat.
-See Video (13/6)🧡🩵🧡

Make sure to brush after they have been wearing a harness or jacket, they can cause knots😬

A regular brushing routine does pay off. It helps maintain their coat and your scallywag will love the attention, when brushed the right way❤️

12/06/2024

I’m going to miss this little scallywag!

Coming to the salon wasn’t her most favourite thing to do, she would much rather be hanging out with the other dogs at home or playing in the pigs pen 🐖 🐖 🐖

Her bath water would always be so dirty and the things I’d find in her coat made me laugh, she’s a real little farm girl🌼

With the sweetest nature, she was always on her very best behaviour. Thanks for being my little friend Daisy🥰

Exciting new adventures ahead for this lovely family❤️

Tutorial Tuesday🎓

Another area that needs attention- The face🐶

Sleep or eye boogers if not removed and cleaned out regularly, can end up in your dog’s muzzle a matted mess👀

Also food stuck in their beard, builds up and becomes a problem to get out😬

Gently hold the hair under their chin as an anchor…
-Use a soft damp cloth to clean their eyes.
-Gently brush their beard removing any food remains.

This is really important to be done regularly at home. It’s then not a major for our scallywags when they come to the salon❤️

This gorgeous girls Mum is currently on her big OE❤️✈️🌎

Wonder where she might be…

Tutorial Thursday🎓

Brushing is not for everyone I understand that, life is busy!

The worst thing you can do is give your dog a quick one off brush when they are due back to the salon. This can do more harm than good, especially if they don’t enjoy being brushed and if there’s knots😬

The coat condition then determines the clippers used for the new coat length…

A.
For easy care, low maintenance coats ideal for busy families.
-Summer☀️
-Autumn🍁
-Winter ❄️

B.
For coats that are brushed regularly, well maintained with no knots there’s the added comb attachment options🧸

Less length = less knotting!
Which works well for most of our our little scallywags💜

More about brushes and brushing to come…

Tutorial Tuesday🎓

I’m going to start with Tails…

Often these gorgeous guys are the culprits for knotty tails 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

Work in sections, always holding the hair under the tail so there’s no discomfort. Brushing regularly to avoid the knots not brushing knots out⚠️

I have a special brush I use in the salon, often it’s easier on our scallywags to cut the knots out or clipper the tail back short and start again. It will grow back😉

It’s always HUMANITY over VANITY!!

The correct brush and more about brushing to come❤️

Part of my job being a member of the NGANZ is education🎓

Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing a few tips and tricks, things that can be done at home to help our little scallywags, making their experience in the salon that much more enjoyable🐶

Short, long and somewhere in between... It’s the owners job to maintain their dogs coats and the groomers job to style it👌

Covering topics from Top to Tail. Keep an eye out for these coming posts❤️

31/05/2024

Thanks scallywag family- After working 10 days straight I’m finally pretty much caught up 🙌

Health nurse visits will continue next week…
Foot is feeling okay, my body feeling tired and sore!

Looking forward to some much needed R&R😌

Happy long weekend 💜

29/05/2024

I see them all and I love it!

The Mums and the Dads, the children, the students on break, the adult children on holiday even the grandparents and the grandchildren…

All helping, doing their bit with the drop off and pickups of our little scallywags, to keep them happy and healthy❤️

Just like this happy little girl😍

Smallest Scallywag award goes to…

This adorable tiny tot❤️

Treat packet to show just how tiny he is🥰

26/05/2024

The importance of a 6-8 week grooming routine has definitely been highlighted this past week🫠

I’ve seen some coats in not so great condition, interesting how a few extra weeks can make all the difference! It’s been good to get them tidied up and back on track again🐶

After appointments all weekend and a busy week ahead we will nearly be caught up😮‍💨
-Thank goodness!!

4 weeks post op tomorrow, hoping that means the end of health nurse visits🤞

As for this adorable little scallywag he’s always a pleasure, so lovely to see him again along with his little brother❤️❤️

24/05/2024

It’s good to be back🥰

Extending everyone’s appointments has come with its challenges, with coats being very woolly!!

As cute and as fluffy as they may look longer, if they haven’t been brushed regularly we are having to go shorter to get through the knots😬

Love these guys, their family like to keep their scallywags short and practical all year round, which is so much easier for them to maintain❤️❤️

20/05/2024

3 weeks in we’re all starting to get a bit stir crazy🤪

Slowly but surely we are back into it again tomorrow…

With a reduced workload, I’ll be able to elevate my foot and I've got a fancy contraption for it to rest on while I groom🐶

My friend Ally has come to the rescue to help out which I really appreciate🐾💜🐾

Regular visits from the lovely district nurses will continue💖

Lots of appointments have been rescheduled over the last few weeks, to all those affected thanks for being so patient and very obliging🙏🏻

I’m very grateful for all the help and support I’ve received along with all the well wishes and check ins🥰

16/05/2024

Bit of a set back, skin graft wasn’t looking too flash when the district nurse came yesterday🥹

I’ve had to reschedule a few appointments to take the pressure off and rest my foot📅

Thanks to everyone that helped make life a bit easier for me in the salon this week 🥰

It was lovely to see our little scallywags again🐶

Hopefully I’ll get back on track again soon. I appreciate everyone’s understanding❤️

15/05/2024

I’ve missed these little rays of sunshine and all the cuddles and kisses that come with them❤️

12/05/2024

We are back into it!
Skin graft has taken🙌

Thanks for all your kind messages. I’ve been well looked after🥰

Busy few weeks and weekends ahead catching up🐕🐕

I’ll be doing a few things a bit differently to protect my foot as much as I can until it heals properly⚠️

Looking forward to seeing all our little scallywags again❤️

11/05/2024

Don't forget breakfast for Mum!

Happy Mother’s Day💖

30/04/2024

It’s not quite cocktail’s by the pool type of break I was dreaming of🏖️

But hey Melanoma removed and now for the skin graft to take🤞🤞

Thanks to all those customers I had to reschedule for the next 2 weeks🙏🏻

I have loads of books to read📚
Boys on dinner duty😋
And I have my little friend by my side💖

Excited to go and play with his friend who’s home for the school holidays❤️

There’s a lot of job satisfaction helping a scallywag that hasn’t been able to get to the groomers for a while❤️

Squeak survives another day😅

Merry Christmas from some of our Scallywag Santa’s😍Wishing everyone a pawsome holiday break❤️

Bath time!!

So proud of this Scallywag!

Check out how one of our little Scallywags keeps clean in between visits to the salon❤️ He’s the gentlest soul🥰 So adorable and very loved by his friend the cat!

First puppy visits to introduce them to grooming is so very important! Once they are fully vaccinated they can then visit the salon🐶 The sooner the better… Then when it comes time for a full groom it’s not as daunting for them👌 Just like this gorgeous girl, she was so very good for her first full groom. She has been here before and was familiar with all the surroundings❤️ Time to play!

Cuteness alert‼️ Happily playing after his first big boy haircut❤️

I’ve been hanging out with different pups this week... We came across these gorgeous seals and their pups 🦭sunbathing on the rocks in Cape Palliser☀️on a road trip in the Wairarapa❤️

As promised a quick ‘Washing tips’ video💦 Water temperature no more than 36 degrees🌡️ This time of year it can be much cooler… I sell Shampoo and Conditioners in the salon along with Scents🧡

How I cool down in the salon on a hot day💦💦😁💦💦

Check out how this little Scallywag drinks from a water bowl😁 He’s such a little character🧡

Sneak peek of Scallywags calendar just arrived today🧡

Morning exercise session at Scallywags😅 First full groom for this handsome boy and he was so very good🧡

Warning ⚠️Watch at your own risk, it will make you want a puppy😁 It was Puppy day at Scallywags today❤️🧡 This gorgeous girl happily playing waiting for Mum🥰 She’s now graduated from a puppy groom and will be ready for a full groom next time🐶

Groomalong ✂️

Here’s a quick video to show you what the competition room was like… Fascinating to watch such amazing groomers and their very well behaved dogs❤️ Loved the sound of everyone’s scissors✂️

Line brushing 👍

Line brushing… The most effective way to brush your dogs coat right down to the skin, with a gentle pat and pull motion🐾 Problem areas to watch for, under the collar, behind the ears, armpits, lower back, legs and tail🐶 Consistently line brushed dogs coats remain healthy and free of debris, knots and mats🧡 Here’s a short clip to show you how and tell you some more😁
