Thank you Tyler Woodworks and Champion Storage & Signs in Oskaloosa for the new Faerie Dog Grooming Salon road sign.
Lovey the Dachshund has her first groom at Faerie Dog Grooming Salon… And boy, does she live up to her name. Sweet and loving, Lovey would much rather curl up with her favorite humans than be groomed. She especially did not like her hind quarters or feet to be touched. Although she was never aggressive, thrashing and mouthing were her way of saying she’s had enough. To encourage a healthy relationship with grooming in the future, we did not force Lovey to undergo anything she deemed to be too much. Due to this, her paws, claws, and undercarriage are a bit shaggier than the rest of her haircut. Often times, it is better to build the relationship of trust with a dog rather than brute force something on them that they aren’t ready for. Although the outcome may not be picture perfect, there is room to grow for perfection in the future, all while growing a healthy relationship towards grooming for Lovey, which will ultimately help her to lead a less fearful and more happy life. Faerie Dog Grooming Salon practices cooperative-care with all pets. We believe that consent-based grooming is the right path for us and the many pets that walk through our doors each day. While not everyone will understand or agree with our approach, we know there are people out there who share our common goal of helping animals live their best lives, where they feel in control of their own fate, and by default may have less anxieties towards otherwise fearful situations. #cooperativecare #fearfreepets #dachshund #dachshundsoftiktok #doggroomer #dogbather #dogstylist #petstylist #petgroomer #dog #dogs #cutedog #weinerdog #minidachshund
Ellie the short-haired German Shepherd gets a deshed bath and brush at Faerie Dog Grooming Salon. Ellie didn’t much care for the process, especially the blow dryer, but these things can take time for some dogs. We cut her blow dry short to accomodate and did a lot of kennel drying before pick up. Fear-free dog grooming isn’t always 100% fear free… this is a perfect example of what that means… but I strive to get things hopefully fear-free with time, trust, and small exposure, bit by bit, until things are finally ✨ easy going. ✨ #dogs #dog #dogstylist #petstylist #doggroomer #petgroomer #germanshepherd #bigdog #dogbather #dogbath
