A sad story with a happy ending.

A family reached out to me about their newly adopted dog, Paul. They were struggling with some aggressive behaviors and were turned away by multiple trainers. I always give dogs a chance so I went over to meet him.

I saw a dog who was pretty unsure of the world around him and was struggling to cope.

I decided to try.

What we discovered was just how endless his list of triggers was. Just how extensive his trauma was and how challenging it was for him to overcome it. He became a risk to those who loved him and the reality is, no family looking for a companion should have to try and navigate something like this. I worked hard to help him cope so he could move past things but it wasn't enough. His triggers kept stacking up. We also worked with an animal communicator and eventually came to the conclusion that all we could really offer Paul was peace. Behavioral euthanasia is never an easy decision but sometimes it is truly the best decision for the dog and for the family. Rest easy, Paul. You were loved.🤎 Shout out to for making it so peaceful.

Now to the good part! The happy ending to it all was Hippie. Hippie was sent here for training by and is just a little ball of goofy, good energy. He was the perfect candidate to start mending the hearts of this family. I think he's doing his job well. Hippie is officially adopted!🤎

Mobile Monday: What Happens if My Dog is Matted?

Knots, tangles, and even full-on mats happen. Life gets away from us, or maybe you’ve been trying to keep up with brushing but missed some spots. Maybe your dog just hates being brushed. I get it—this isn’t about blame or shame.

That said, I do not offer dematting services, and I want to talk about why.

First and foremost: it’s not your dog’s fault. Matting can cause discomfort, pain, and even health issues like skin infections or restricted movement. The kindest thing we can do is remove mats as soon and as humanely as possible.

Second: brushing out mats hurts.
Most dogs can’t tolerate prolonged or intensive brushing, especially if they haven’t been conditioned to it since puppyhood. Brushing out mats can make grooming feel scary or painful—and that can cause lasting fear around future grooms.

Third: it ruins the coat.
Matting causes breakage, thinning, and long-term damage to the coat. Once a spot has matted, it’s often more likely to mat again. Brushing through that damage only makes things worse.

Fourth: it’s hard—on everyone.
It’s physically demanding on the groomer and rough on my tools. This work is my livelihood and requires me to maintain both my body and equipment to keep doing what I do safely and sustainably. It’s not about being lazy—it’s about being smart.

So what does happen if your dog shows up matted?

You’ll have three options, and we’ll talk about them before we begin:

1. Shave down and start fresh.
This is the most humane and stress-free option in most cases. Clean slate.

2. Reschedule so you can work on detangling at home.
I’m happy to offer tips or suggest products, but brushing out mats takes time and patience—especially if your dog doesn’t love it.

3. Cancel and seek a second opinion.
Not every groomer operates the same way, and that’s okay. You have the right to choose what feels best for you and your pet.

The good news? Hair grows back.

A fresh start isn’t a failure—it’s a step toward a more comfortable, happy grooming routine. If the fluffy look is your goal, I’ll gladly walk you through how to maintain it between appointments. But remember: vanity should never come before your dog’s comfort. Fluff is cute, but a happy, pain-free dog is even cuter.

Welcome Kipper!
Kipper was recently adopted and already thriving thanks to some truly awesome humans. His new family owns Nature's Pet Place LLC in Hanover (check them out!) and they’ve been working with GypsyK9 Solutions to get him comfortable with grooming.
He absolutely nailed his appointment.
Still a little itchy due to allergies, but we’re working on it.
Teamwork makes all the difference!
