Lady 💗

She’s a unicorn grooming dog. Especially because she’s an American Cocker Spaniel. She stands beautifully still, doesn’t care about the dryer, and doesn’t care about getting her nails done. 😁 👏👏👏 10/10

Grooming dog folks-

As Kayla winds down and finishes the dogs on the schedule here, I want to remind everyone to contact your alternate groomer ASAP to get on their schedules.

Melissa is the most experienced groomer in the area.
https://www.facebook.com/share/EyY2qtix8X7NYbhe/?mibextid=LQQJ4d

Bailey at Pampered Pets is a great option too, she may be booked out pretty far though so get on her schedule ASAP, and maybe offer to be put on a cancellation list.

Lisa at Lisa’s Country Kennels also offers grooming and she is very close to me, so if location is important she’s a great option.

I want to thank everyone for being such great grooming clients. We have a fabulous lineup of incredible dog owners. I am very proud and cannot wait to see everyone back in October! (We will be in touch in September)

we are an all pet grooming location, having over 20 plus years of experience I am able to help where

I’ve said it a million times-
DOGS AND BABIES ARE A BIG NO NO.

Everything is okay until it’s not, it’s just not worth the risk. Dogs are animals, period.

The Mansoor family said their dog bit their newborn baby unprovoked and that the dog had never previously shown aggression.

Friday/Monday grooming folks-
Your appointments are still on. I will be helping so that Kayla can finish out most of her scheduled appointments. And the days that are fully booked- I have set up for another groomer to be here.
Kayla is expecting to be back grooming full time in October, so NOW is the time to call around and schedule their July, August, September grooms with another groomer.
Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Massively proud of my client Ashley and her dog Scout. It was an honor to work with you guys. GREAT JOB TODAY!!! 👏👏👏

Treadmill time this am for the girls.

Structured/focused exercise The often missed piece to the puzzle. I would argue that structured exercise is just as important as nutrition when considering the care of your dog. Examples of structured exercise- treadmill or slatmill, heeling (very clean) while running/biking/atv, What is not structured exercise- fetch, loose leash walking, running around the yard freely, playing with other dogs in the home. I personally like to see a nice and close, clean heeling position with the dog running at a jog. No sniffing, no scanning, no ears forward.

Morning treadmill time.

The dogs LOVE their treadmill sessions.

“Place” End of week 2.

Big thanks to my nephew Anakin for helping me today with Cooper. Cooper used to be really afraid of strangers. I’d say we are definitely working that out. 👏👍 Another video in comments.

Oftentimes the first step in desensitizing a dog to other dogs is to have them doing the same thing at a safe distance (below threshold) but close enough for them to interpret that they are doing it together. If you have another dog coming into the home, a good first step is to take a walk together with them and another handler without letting them interact with each other.

My daughter Hannah working Jack up the platforms the other night. This is a confidence building exercise. It can also be a good way to improve the humans leash handling skills.

Obie and Gertie doing some treadmill time today. Obie is being VERY good. He is a perfect example of how physical affection (given improperly) can really mess a dog up mentally.

Bull Mastiff Riley

The boys wanted to do an extra treadmill session, I am Happy to oblige 💗

Had Zeus go home today! Madly proud of this guy, he went from being a massive puller with zero impulse control to a beautiful heel and much improved impulse control. It was a pleasure to meet his family and train him! He’s going to do great!

Uppy and Zeus treadmill time this morning.

Archie has been an interesting dog for me. He came in very fear aggressive and quickly got the nickname the rage monster. It’s always surprising how foreword aggressive a fear response will look. Dogs act that way for self preservation, in simple terms- he acted like that because it worked for him. So we got to work. It’s been my job to show him a new way. I do this in multiple ways but the most important way is by clearly defining YES and NO, and building a foundation. Once I knew that he fully understood both concepts, we dive in. I exposed him to new people pretty much daily. Each time he was becoming more and more comfortable. Whenever he had a good reaction or no reaction I would mark YES, and reward. Whenever he growled or displayed foreword aggression, I would mark NO and apply a correction. There’s definitely a skill set to reading a dog and knowing when they are about to go over threshold. Keeping him under in the beginning so that we could have a lot of positive repetitions was the key. Did I fix Archie? For me, yes. We have built a solid relationship based on trust and proper leadership. The real challenge for dogs like Archie to continue to be successful, happens when they go home. I am feeling really good about Archie and his owner. I am equipping them with all the knowledge and tools to be successful. I am very proud of this little dog and I will miss him very much when he goes home Saturday. He loves the treadmill. He goes on there and waits patiently for me to turn it on. His little happy dance is pretty cute!
