I'd love to share some insights on why it's crucial to desensitize your dog to grooming. 🛁

Grooming can be a bit overwhelming for some dogs, causing anxiety and stress. But fear not! Desensitization is the key to turning grooming into a positive and stress-free experience for your furry friend. Here's why it's important:

1️⃣ Stress reduction: By gradually introducing your dog to grooming activities in a calm and patient manner, you help them become more comfortable and relaxed during the process. This reduces their stress levels and makes grooming sessions much more enjoyable for everyone involved.

2️⃣ Trust and cooperation: Desensitization builds trust between you and your dog. When they realize that grooming isn't something to fear, they become more cooperative and willing to participate in the process. This not only makes grooming easier for you but also strengthens the bond you share with your pup.

3️⃣ Safety first: When your dog becomes comfortable with handling through desensitization, it allows us to perform essential grooming tasks, such as trimming nails, cleaning ears, and brushing their coat, with ease and without any fuss. This is crucial for their overall health and hygiene. By having a dog who is at ease during grooming, we can ensure that these necessary tasks are done effectively and without causing any unnecessary stress or discomfort.

4️⃣ Positive associations: Desensitization helps create positive associations with grooming. By using rewards, treats, and praise during the process, you're teaching your dog that grooming time is a time for relaxation and pampering. This can have long-lasting effects, making future grooming sessions a breeze.

Remember, desensitization is a gradual process. Take it slow and be patient with your pup. Start by introducing them to grooming tools and activities in a positive and gentle way. Reward them for their calm behavior and gradually increase the duration of each session.

If you're unsure about how to desensitize your dog to grooming, don't hesitate to reach out!

By desensitizing your dog to grooming, you're ensuring their comfort, happiness, and overall well-being. So let's make grooming a positive experience for our furry friends!

Hey everyone! Good morning! I've decided to make some changes to my schedule to accommodate all of you more efficiently. I know things have been crazy lately, so hopefully this will help! 😊

Just a heads up, I won't be able to move any current appointments unless you've messaged me and we've scheduled you for June or July and you’re needing in sooner.

For now, I want to prioritize bookings for my current clients. Once they're all scheduled, I'll open it up to new clients if necessary! 😊

For other available dates, check out the list below. There are multiple slots from 9am to 2:30pm.

Feel free to message me on Facebook or text me at 217-500-1795. Can't wait to hear from you! 📅✉️

~We are currently NOT accepting new clients~
I wanted to make a post for all of our regular clients⬇️
I actually prefer booking out more than just your next groom, if your schedule allows it. I am more than happy to schedule your next 3+ grooms & would prefer to do it that way!
❕I will book your appointments all the way up to September if your schedule allows. If you would like to make your next appointment and/or book out until September PLEASE text me or message the page OR request it through our booking app Vagaro.

With Isabella leaving the first of March I want to make sure everyone has a spot and booking out your appointments is the only way to guarantee you get the appointment you want!😊

Edit to add: you don’t have to book this way! Only if you can/want to! There will still be plenty of available appointments.. this is just a way for you to be able to get exactly what you want if you don’t have a very flexible schedule, etc😊
