Doggy Downtime

08/01/2024

this cutie goldendoodle, graham, let me use him as an example today to show off two different looks I enjoy styling:

#1 the poodley-look

#2 the “don’t-poodle-my-doodle”

Owner often feel strongly about either-or but I’m happy to groom any style for my doodle clients, so long as their coat type allows! I think both options are super cute but the choice between which to get for your pup simply comes down to a personal preference.

I’m still accepting new clients so text (720) 515-0622 to book your pups 1:1 therapeutic grooming session!

Policymakers and societal norms interpret the presence of animals in the home and on the street differently for groups along the axes of class and race, even when the motivations for pet keeping are the same.

Lucy’s signature look 👉🏽 before/after 👉🏽 tongue out cutie 😋

Barley perfectly modeled my signature body haircut pattern. He even refused to look directly in the camera for extra model vibe, haha!

I looooove a more column like leg with tight/tidy feet and chest. It’s an ALWAYS on the sanitary trim (potty areas, armpits, and under the ear). Plus a custom tail and head = typically fluffy and round, leaning towards Japanese style.

😌🐾✨

Call/text to book (720) 515-0622 if you want your pup looking handsome and cute like Barley. I’ll be closing my client list soon so get in while you can to stay on my rotation!

I specialize in getting puppies set up on the best track for a positive lifelong relationship with grooming and preventative health care :)

As a mom, I know that building confidence and a strong set of skills to cope with the inevitability of having to go through difficult experiences is one of the best things we can do for our youngsters... and it’s really no different with dogs! I teach puppies to trust the process of grooming by giving them time to explore and understand the different tools being used.

I encourage all of my clients to start very young by bringing them in to me as soon as they’ve settled into their new homes and after their first round of shots! Typically around a full month after bringing a new fur baby home is great to get them in for a puppy bath and fluff with me.

With puppies, I go slow without dragging out the experience (which can lead to stimulatory overwhelm) and let them sniff each and every tool I use before I use it on them, getting treats as a reward for their bravery and curiosity. I even teach my clients effective tips a tricks to use at home to desensitize and help prep their puppy for each session!

Grooming IS preventative health care (hence why groomers became listed as ESSENTIAL businesses during the pandemic) and every dog deserves to experience as little stress as possible during the experience.

Interested in setting up your puppy for the best possible life and teaching them to maybe even enjoy visiting the groomers for the sake of their health?!

Hudson is a sweetie guy who low key is starting to really enjoy his bath time! This was his second appointment at Doggy Downtime :)

It’s fun to witness dogs who come in to Doggy Downtime go through a moment of confusion when they start to catch themselves enjoying their grooming sessions (they’ll be like “wait, I thought I hated this?” lol.)

I always use a warm temperature with a nozzle that gives out just the right amount of pressure to feel like a nice massage and have even had dogs just about fall asleep in the tub! Hudson is starting to believe me when I tell him I’m not going to shock him with a cold temp and rough hands

Chicago says your should book your next grooming appointment with her favorite eco-friendly groomer.

(PS I was this baby’s first ever groomer as a puppy and I’m so glad they are returning clients. So cute watching my fur buddies grow even when I groom them to look like forever puppies hehe.)

Lookieee!! It me and my special business featured in the Westword specifically thanks to Erika Righter for advocating for me/my community and small businesses in the Denver area

The business not only grooms dogs with sustainable products (the dog hair is even composted!) — it also provides a gathering space for people of color and a boutique for artists to sell their wares.
