This is Buddy!! He's blind and I wanted to get a picture of him, but this was the best I was willing to do π€© Having him on the table unassisted or tethered, to stand back for a picture, was not in the cards. Just not fair to him. π₯°
Baloo! Silly guy... loves the dryer. π₯°π€£
Love it when these guys show up. π
I will remember your dog's personality over their name every time! π
We love the silly dogs, the challenging dogs, the fearful dogs.... all the different personalities that each dog has. We learn what they need and what works best for them. Our absolute goal is to show each dog that they don't have to be afraid. We take it slow with older dogs, and the ones that are stressed or fearful. We give breaks as needed and let them go potty, or just shake it off.
A lot of people will worry about their dog's initial reaction to being in a NEW grooming salon. The shaking.... wide eyes.... not wanting to come in. When a dog is in that fearful state of mind, the worst thing we can do is try to pet them or put more pressure on them. We take off their leash and let them smell and walk around. Then, we usually allow them to come say hello after they've settled down a bit.
What we WANT to see.... is if they seem more relaxed when they COME BACK to our salon.
Even a little bit is a win in my eyes.
Our goal is happy dogs and happy owners. We absolutely love what we do. π
There's work..... there's play..... so excited about a Doberman.
Don't get me wrong, i love them all, even when they're naughty..... however I lost my Doberman last year, my best friend..... and get overly excited to hang out with one. I may have kept him longer than I needed to. π«£
We were outside, and when i walked up the steps.... he was trying to play with me and nipped my buttππ€£ππ
Toby and Teddy!
Before pics are posted in comments. It won't let me post video and pics together (after pictures were impossible) π
Buster.... waiting for his ride. π€©
When your leash is on top of the toolbox because you like to carry it around, and you're ready to go π
When work doesn't feel like work! π€£
