Hi friends and family! I have an announcement that I never thought I would do! I am putting a hold on accepting new clients. I’ve become too popular for my own good and can’t properly care for my long time clients. Thankyou for all the support and references! I wouldn’t be able to be here without you all!!!

Let this be a lesson to you all that if you don’t brushy brushy, I will shavey shavey. But she did so good anyways. What a sweet girl!!

This hits home so hard. I love what I do and the relationship I create with each beautiful dog ❤️

The “old” approach vs. The new modern approach
“Alpha” vs. “Mindful”
For years groomers have followed the philosophy of alpha training. This means dogs were forced through grooming. The customer gets what the customer wants at almost any means. Dogs were muzzled, held down sometimes by multiple groomers to get the tasks completed and keep clients happy. Neck scruffs were held, a dominating “NO” could be heard. This method got the job done while also traumatizing our pets, adding so much unnecessary risk that your dog would get hurt, your groomer would get hurt or equipment would get broken.

Times have changed. Dogs are not merely pets anymore, they are mans best friend! We know better now! We care what food they eat, we care if they get a thorn in their paw, we care if they are scared or happy.

The future of grooming is here with mindful groomers! The mindful grooming philosophy leaves room for a trustful bond to develop between your best friend and their groomer. This method does not care if the job gets done but instead helps your pet build confidence and a sense of safety. It includes warning your pet that a loud noise is about to occur, being gentle and patient, affection and breaks, bringing them back to calm before proceeding. This helps them be calm, comfortable and cooperative for grooming. Maybe every single task doesn’t get completed the first time, but with practice eventually they will be an amazing grooming dog. This will translate into better vet visits, less anxiety, safer experience and in my opinion is simply how mans best friend should be treated.

Find a mindful groomer, it makes a difference.

This is why it is so important to have your dog on a consistent schedule.

Some dogs need a little more patience, work, time and finesse than others and that’s okay. It’s good to know if your dog needs more help with the grooming process than the average dog. Yes it will cost you a little more money at your groomers but you want your dog to build its confidence, be well mannered and safe. Eventually your dog will learn and grow into a great grooming dog who does not get that extra fee on its grooming bill and even enjoys its spa day. Communicate with your groomer about your best friends strengths and weaknesses to help create a positive experience, better haircut and all around more confident dog.

I still have no kennels and can offer your pup the most calming grooming experience. I still have a few more openings for the holidays!! So please contact me to get your spot before I am completely full!!! See you all soon!!

The Curvy Canine is perfect for dogs with anxiety. I take dogs one on one. I have no kennels. No loud music. Or extra dogs chillin and barking. I have over 10 years experience. And love every pup just as my own!
