Nail trims may be needed more frequently depending on how fast the nails grow and the length of the quicks. Since Giannis's quicks are on the long side, coming more frequently will help to keep him comfortable!

Being nervous does not always mean a dog will be reactive. Hank tends to stiffen up and pant during nail trims, which are signs of nervousness whereas reactivity is more about a strong response than underlying anxiety!

Happy Halloween from Baxter and Maggie!! 🎃👻🕸️

Finn has a mixed coat type that shouldn't be clipped as it would disrupt his coats natural function of temperature regulation and could alter how his hair grows back. A brush out and de-shed bath was all he needed!

10/29/2024

Some dogs may not take treats even if they aren't anxious since grooming can be a highly stimulating experience that can make them not interested or they may prefer treats in a relaxed, familiar setting such as their home. Keko typically hasn't taken treats but at her visit today, she took a lick of peanut butter off her lick mat!

10/19/2024

Some dogs may act unsure or try to hide at drop off even if they're comfortable with being groomed, sometimes it's a result of separating from their parents or the change in their daily routine since most dogs aren't going to the groomers on a daily basis. Zorro attempted to hide and Sully went limp at drop off but they both were fine once they got settled in!

10/19/2024

A dog can be a little unsure about the grooming process but still remain sweet and cooperative. Although Indy gets a little nervous and didn't like having his pants trimmed, he was cooperative and giving kisses at his visit today!

10/17/2024

Although Yvonne doesn't really go outside, her drop coat still requires daily brushing and regular bathing which takes extra time to dry given the length and thickness of her hair. Drying drop coats properly is crucial to prevent moisture from being trapped that can lead to skin issues or so the hair doesn't twist and knot while being dried.

10/17/2024

Knowing a dog and their temperament can help make the process faster. Although Princess Lotus Blossom is reactive, knowing what specifically she reacts to and with the use of a muzzle, she was done in just under 2 hours since she gets shaved down.

10/17/2024

Grooming can be anxiety provoking with senior dogs even if they've been good for grooming their whole lives. While Roxy is cooperative, she eventually starts pacing and panting despite being used to the process. Being bathed at home the day before helps break it down to make it a little easier on her!

10/17/2024

Ike's First Groom! With puppies, early introduction to grooming by easing them into it is crucial in getting them comfortable with the process! Ike was just a little unsure with it being his first time but overall he did good!

10/15/2024

When a dog is reactive around their face, like Bitzy, it was necessary to hold her by the chin or around her muzzle with one hand while slowly trimming and combing with the other to safely get it done!

10/15/2024

When fixing an 'at home groom', going short may be necessary to even out the coat. Teddi 's leg was clipped at home so she was shaved short today to give her a smooth finish while her hair grows back!

10/15/2024

Panting can be a sign of stress in dogs. At 16 years old, the grooming process has become more strenuous on Pepperjack. He was getting tired from having to stand and started panting when he was getting to the point that he had enough.

10/15/2024

Going to the same groomer from puppyhood allows for trust to develop as well as a reduction in anxiety due to consistency. Lola has been coming since she was a puppy and has grown comfortable with the process over time! .fillmore

10/12/2024

Some dogs scream during grooming even if they aren't hurt due to anxiety, fear, past experiences or the different sensations that come with being groomed can cause a nervous dog to vocalize loudly. As a rescue, Lucy gets anxious and will scream when her legs or paws are being trimmed even though she wasn't injured.

10/12/2024

Tummy rubs are a sign of trust with dogs as exposing their belly is a vulnerable position for them, which indicates they feel safe and secure. Although Chubbs sometimes gets nervous, he'll still roll over for a rub while being groomed!

10/12/2024

With cooler weather coming, longer haircuts or mini grooms just to tidy up without removing length are more commonly requested. Cassius usually gets clipped short but at his visit today, he just got a light trim to keep him comfortable!

Air blowers can help with the drying process when a dog doesn't like the dryer. It helped with getting Oli's face and ears dry after his bath! @spiritandthreadcrochet @gavinjenkins585 @olirocs #doggrooming #beagle #goodboy #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #irondequoit #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

Punky hanging out while waiting for her groom! #japanesechin #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield ##doggyspa #girlgrooming

Lucy was initially fearful of the dryer since she gets anxious with loud noises, but after turning it down low and gently working her through the process she loves it now! #doggrooming #yorkie #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

With consistency and gentle handling, Lyla is learning to associate grooming with positive experiences! Getting puppies comfortable with the grooming process is crucial since grooming is an ongoing need. @everyonecallsmek #doggrooming #minigoldendoodle #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

Ask about Puppy Intro Sessions! Since today was Sam's first time being groomed, his visit today was more focused on safely getting him through what needed to be done. This included bath & blowout, nails, paw pads, sanitary clip and around his eyes. Adapting to the grooming process is a learning curve as puppies need to adjust to not only the noises and activity within a grooming salon, but also being clipped, brushed, and handled in ways they're not used to. It's much more important to safely get them through the process rather than risk injury or pushing them too far out of their comfort zones over a haircut. Gradually building tolerance and trust takes time! #doggrooming #caviliermix #goodboy #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

Since dogs typically rely on 4 legs for balance, Pi requires extra gentle handling and patience to help keep him steady for nail trims since he only has 3 legs. For instance allowing him to put a leg down in order to regain his balance, even if it takes a few times, helps the process go more smoothly. #doggrooming #pitmix #goodboy #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

New Drying Suits! These can be beneficial for dogs that get anxious from the noise or sensation from the dryers! For Precious, the suit allowed her to have a break while simultaneously being dried! #doggrooming #bichonmix #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

Some dogs will try to pull away while being groomed, it can be due to anxiety, pain or intolerance to a sensory input. Chestnut does not like the sensation of the clippers vibrating on his legs or paws and will try to pull away. It's important to be patient and gentle yet firm to avoid injuries. #doggrooming #toypoodlemix #goodboy #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

A mini groom involves a light trim on the legs, face, tail and sanitary area to maintain long hair. Although less hair is taken off, it still takes time as dogs are covered with hair all over their bodies. Size, temperament, coat type and density can also influence the amount of time it takes. Even with Violet being cooperative, it still took a little over an hour and a half to complete this groom. #doggrooming #bernedoodle #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #irondequoit #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

When a dog is sensitive for having their nails trimmed or paws handled, giving treats can sometimes help by keeping them occupied. Since Oli is food motivated, a lick mat with peanut butter and treats helps make the process easier! It also makes the experience more positive! #doggrooming #beagle #goodboy #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #irondequoit #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife

Ask about brush out sessions!! Aside from preventing mats, regular brushing can help manage seasonal shedding and minimizing loose fur around the house. Proper brushes for a dog depends on their coat type. For dogs with short coats such as bulldogs or beagles, a rubber curry brush can help to remove loose hair and dirt. For dogs with medium to long coats, such as a Retriever, a slicker brush and undercoat rake are best suited to manage this hair type. It's important to be gentle so as to avoid skin irritation or causing pain. #doggrooming #creamretriever #goodgirl #cleandog #homesalon #rochesterny #penfield #brighton #eastrochester #fairport #irondequoit #macedon #webster #williamson #victor #doggyspa #girlgrooming #doglife
