Yes it is true I have opened my books for new clients!
Due to clients moving....
I have a few Limited open spots for grooming available. I am accepting clients who want to book reoccurring appointments for their dogs going onto the schedule every 4 weeks (generally for a bath, brush and dehair client) to 4-8 weeks for a bath, brush and clip client, clients who want one on one grooming work coming from someone with over 30 years of experience including pet and show grooming who has a deep understanding of correct coat care depending on type of coat and what is open to teach and tutor for at home maintenance and upkeep.
Dogs come in and have my full attention and hands on from start to finish. No sitting around all day for your dog to get being done. Quiet environment too.
Nails are and will always be $5! ( they are always included with grooming)
Let's talk winter, grooming and dogs' feet!! I see these all the time. I have lived where it was way colder and more snow than Idaho for weeks at a time with artic wind blasts over wide open prairie.
*Feet+++ first of all DO NOT use things to soften your dog's feet during any time of year...your dog is more likely to rip open pads and yes, they bleed like crazy! You don't need to have a visit to the vet your dog won't did. I promise! my Belgian did this multiple times until I started using a product that his feet never had another problem. It comes down to nutrition, Let's get real for a minute. Humans eating a lot of processed food is not healthy...we are feeding our canines broken down food that is overly processed and the nutrients have been cooked out of. no matter what the bag says, what the vet says they are missing SO MUCH in their diet!!
A product called Nutrizinc by Howling dog Alaska is highly recommended for year-round. Ripped feet, soft, broken toenails, and coat that is thin and won't grow...guess what start inside out! Same for dry skin. Starts inside the body at the nutrition level.
*Grooming+++Your dog no matter the weather needs their nails done, and to be brushed out at least once a week! Coat is an insulator for heat and cold. many times, for grooming when cold people think their dog needs to be longer...no they do not! if you are not great at home coat maintenance this ups the requirements by keeping them longer! not brushing your dog when its cold will make them colder as they stay wet longer vs drying out and mat faster, and if your dog is not living/ working outside longer is not necessary. Even these dogs don't necessarily need to be longer than regularly kept but need to be groomed correctly and have appropriate shelters. Your dog will be fast in and out the exposure to the cold is limited. Also, the longer they are if they are normally trimmed/clipped they get smelly and dirtier faster!

Rosie was having nothing to do with pictures after her grooming.
I am not a pro at top knots and top ties. I am self taught' on these.
I watch people at dog shows do them...they have some skills. I only have a couple clients I get to put them on so practice is to a minimum too

Thinning, carding and dehairing
Thinning, carding and dehairing...when you bring me your dog.
My charge for these procedures are the amount of my bath and brush as this is part of thar
Welcome! My name is Angie Jensen and I have been training dogs for the last 29 years. I personally compete in performance events through the American Kennel Club and I show dogs through the American Kennel Club, United Kennel Club and International Kennel Club. The Events that I have competed in and trained in include: Obedience, Agility, Rally, Herding, Tracking, Canine Good Citizenship (all 3 levels), and dog Therapy work. And of course the conformation ring. I have owned and worked many dog breeds, personalities and backgrounds over the years. I am a Canine Good Citizenship evaluator (American Kennel Club) and I am a Tester and observer for therapy dogs ( Alliance of therapy Dogs).
From Rescues to puppies from basic manners to specific problems I have had hands on experience with numerous dogs and people and have dedicated myself to the mantra “Improving the relationship between you and your Canine companion.” Through the years I have trained horses which has taught me many methods and skills that have helped me become a better dog trainer. I have had the pleasure to attend numerous seminars with fabulous people who train and teach agility and obedience (competition and non competition) all over the country and the world. With each seminar I have been able to see other trainers who I trust methods and adapt them into my training to be used for those dogs who specifically need that direction.
In the past I have taught group lessons but through my years have noticed I can only move as fast as the slowest dog is willing to move in the class. I have proceeded with one on ones so that speed of learning, tailoring of lessons and issues being had can be addressed so you and your dog can find your team work together.
Over the years of training so many different breeds, dogs of numerous backgrounds and personalities I have learned that dog training has to be flexible for each individual both human and canine. One method does not cover every dog. So I have dedicated myself to seeing what other trainers that I trust do and the methods they use along with reading articles and books to have the knowledge and skill to help those who are asking for guidance. I don't use every method on every dog but find the right fit as I go forward with the dog and the owner so they can have that lasting relationship. Some methods may seem odd and “out there”, some are considered “old school” but if the dog needs it to help have a “light bulb” moment of “I get it” than it was well worth my time and energy to have that tool of knowledge in my box of training methods to help guide a dog along the path of learning.
“The day that you think you know everything in what you are doing, is the day you need to stop what you are doing and walk away as you have made yourself unteachable.” Elicia Calhoun, USA Agility Worlds Team Member, Owner & Trainer Waltzing Paws Agility
I have a strong stance on making training fun and interactive and part of my coaching/training is that I give suggestions of how to incorporate play into training, how your everyday work and home life can intergrade training as well as helping the dog find out that learning is fun, energy burning and they want to be with you and work for you. And again have that wonderful relationship that starts with 6 weeks of classes and will continue through their life with you.
If you have any questions about my one on one classes or you want to sign up please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you and your dog find your special relationship.
