🌟SKYLA - AMERICAN AKITA 🌟

On Friday we were stoked to welcome Skyla in for her very first professional groom!

As groomers, it’s so important to be familiar with all breeds, not just the ones we see every day. Every dog has unique traits, tendencies, coat types and skin needs. Understanding these helps us set them up for success!

In our salon, we welcome all breeds and we were so pleased to report back to her guardians, that Skyla did brilliantly for her very first groom!

While we didn’t complete her groom fully this time, we made sure to listen to Skyla and not push her past her limits. That way, she leaves with a positive experience and when she comes back, we can continue building on that trust.

We use smith&burton Nourishing Collection on thick double coats like Skyla’s!

👏 Great job, Skyla! We can’t wait to see you again!

If you’d like to book in with us, we have limited spaces available but you can book online which is nice and easy!

Did you know you can start preparing your puppy for face trims without scissors?

✨ Here’s a super safe trick we use:
Take the back of a spoon and gently move it around your puppy’s face, around the eyes, cheeks and chin.

Why it works:
• The cool, smooth spoon mimics the feel of scissors.
• It gets your puppy used to having something near their face.
• No risk of accidents while they’re still wriggly pups!

🌟 Pro tip: Keep sessions short, pair it with treats, hold a bully stock or toy for them to chew on at the same time and always end on a positive note!

🚨 Safety Notice 🚨

For the safety of your dogs, please do not enter through the safety gates or swinging door. These are strictly staff only areas for the dogs and your safety.

Our business is located next to a busy road, and these gates are in place to protect your dogs from accidentally getting out. Please PLEASE also make sure to close the sliding door behind you even if it's only for a second, it only takes a second for an excited dog to whip out that door.

📹 We have cameras and a doorbell, we can see you!
Please wait while we finish settling other dogs safely before greeting you. It usually takes no more than a minute or two, we kindly ask for patience while we do this.

👉 A staff member will always assist you with entry and exit.

Thank you for your patience and for helping us keep every dog safe!

“Hey hoomans! It’s me, Archie!

I’ve got some tail wagging news… my daycare has spaces open! That means more friends for me to play zoomies with, more cuddles from the humans, and more toys to steal (uhh… share 🤭).

Instead of snoozing at home alone, I get to spend the day running, sniffing and making besties. Trust me… it’s paws-down the best time ever!

So if your doggo needs a place to burn off energy, make pals, and come home happy-tired (the best kind of tired 💤), tell their hooman to book them in!

👉 Message my daycare humans before the spots are gone!

Okay, back to tug-of-war. BYE! 👋”

✨Getting Puppies Used to the Grooming Table✨

I thought I’d take you all on a training journey with Connie and I so you can (hopefully!) pick up some tips on how to set your puppy (or adult dog, it’s never too late!) for success and get them used to grooming.

Today Connie and I did some work with her on the grooming table. We only did 5 minutes (which also included going over her commands that she knows already to continue to cement these) was plenty for her to become comfortable while I praised and rewarded her with her favourite kibble.

🐾 Training Tip 🐾

One of the biggest parts of grooming confidence is teaching your puppy to feel safe being up on a table. At the salon, grooming happens on an elevated table which can be daunting for some but you can easily start preparing at home!

✨ Ways to practice:
• Use a sturdy surface at home, like a desk, low table or even the top of your washing machine (with a non-slip mat).
• Keep sessions short, just a few minutes at first is more than enough
• Reward, reward, reward! Treats or a lick mat help make the table feel like a happy place.
• If you don’t have a safe raised surface, even a rubber bath mat on the floor works to signal “this is my grooming spot.”

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s building trust. Don’t aim to have them being brushed or groomed on the first session. Just let them sit and get used to the feeling before introducing new experiences.

Let me know if there’s anything specific you’d like to know otherwise I’ll post tips regularly as I experience them with Connie 💖 Hope this helps!
