A true gentleman✨
Winston had never been to a groomers before and as you can see by the first picture he was very unsure and nervous at the start.
After talking to his mum we decided that the best course of action would be to start Winston on my puppy package with a bath and brush for his first session and then build up slowly to a full groom in a few weeks time!
Winston absolutely smashed his first spa session and even let me trim out some little matts he had under his belly all while showering me in all the cuddles and kisses he could get🤣🥰
So proud of you little man!!🤍

So proud of you Molly!✨
Molly came for her first ever spa groom appointment with me and was very anxious to begin with.
With Molly I went straight back to puppy basics and introduced everything to her as we went along and by the end of her appointment she was so relaxed that I even got a smile and a kiss from her🥹

My heart literally burst on the spot!
Go Molly!🤍

Nelly is fast becoming a grooming superstar!✨
This is only her 2nd appointment and she stands like a pro for her trim!
Next step is her first big girl full groom!
This is why it’s so important to get your puppies to the groomers as soon as they are fully vaccinated so they can be like Nelly and see there is nothing scary about grooming at all🥰
GO NELLY GO!🤍

A true teddy bear✨
Benny has just had his big boy op so he was a little sensitive to certain parts of his groom today but with the help of patience, cuddles and a few treats we managed to finish his groom.
I couldn’t help but take so many pictures as he is just one big fluffy bear😆🥰
Until next time you brave beautiful boy!🤍

Smiley boy✨
Ohh sweet boy I am so proud of you!
Dougie is a very sensitive soul and came into the salon very nervous with alot of anxiety about nail trims especially.
We spent the first 10 minutes of his spa groom, letting him have a walk and sniff around the salon with of course a few treats and a cuddle to end.
He adored his bath with spa treats & even had a snooze on my lap while he dried.
We only managed to trim his dewclaw’s on Saturday but slow and steady wins the race and for this little man that is huge deal!!💪🏻
So so so proud sweet boy!
I can’t wait to see your confidence soar!
Until next time🤍

The perfect mix of sassy and sweet✨
Lenny you were an absolute superstar for your groom session! After a discussion with his owners, due to matting on his legs, we decided the best plan was to give Lenny a shorter trim to get rid of those mats and start again.
I think we can all agree he still looks so handsome🤍

And they call it puppy love✨
Nelly’s first ever spa groom session and she was a superstar!

I’m always asked
“How soon should my puppy be groomed?”

Puppy grooms are never ‘picture perfect’ but they are so important in helping to set your gorgeous pup for a lifetime of grooming🤍

⏱️Starting early is the secret. I recommend getting started as soon as your pup is fully vaccinated!

✂️It’s all about getting your little one used to the grooming process! Think clippers buzzing, brushes gliding, shears snipping, dryers whooshing, and splashy bath times.

🤍This way, grooming days become fun and relaxed, setting the stage for happy pampering grooming sessions as they grow!

Thank you for being such a gorgeous model Nelly!
See you soon!🤍

Kobe first haircut💙

Let’s talk about desensitisation✨ Why is it so important to get your puppy groomed as soon as they have had their final injections? 💙it gets them use to the grooming environment 💙it gets them use to loud noises (dryer, clippers) 💙it gets them use to scissors & combs around their face 💙getting groomed feels a part of life & builds their confidence 💙it builds a bond between your dog & their groomer With love, patience (and lots of treats) it is possible to get anxious dog’s loving their grooms! I don’t care how many sessions it takes, my promise to you always is that your dog comes first and I will forever ensure they are happy and loved in my care!💙

✨THE BARK HOUSE WAY✨ ❗️If at any time during the desensitisation process your dog shows that they are uncomfortable with your touch, immediately stop and make it easier for them by backing up a step. This is a marathon not a sprint! Slow and steady ALWAYS wins the race.❗️ 1️⃣Get a supply of tasty treats cut into tiny bites. Use something the dog loves and doesn’t get often, such as cheese, cooked chicken, freeze dried liver. Train in 5 minute sessions and always end on a good note! 2️⃣Start without the clippers. Get your dog lying quietly (always best to do at the end of the day or after a long walk so they are sleepy) and just run your hands down his leg towards their foot. You want to stop at the point that they are calm and not reacting, say “YES” and reward. Do this with all four feet and then end your session. Depending on the severity of your dog’s phobia you may have to do this for several 5 minute sessions over a couple of days. 3️⃣Next step is to run your hand down the leg to the foot, touch the foot briefly, say “YES” and reward. 4️⃣Next pick up the foot, hold it briefly and then say “YES” and give the treat. 5️⃣Next pick up the foot in your hand and put light pressure on the toe above the nail, when the dog accepts it say “YES” and reward. Do this for all 4 feet, but remember to keep the session short and fun. 6️⃣Repeat the above step but take out the nail clippers and leave them sitting on the floor next to you during your session. 7️⃣After this, hold the paw and pick up the clippers, but do not bring the clippers close to the nail. Again when the dog is calm say “YES” and reward. 8️⃣When the dog accepts you picking up all four feet and putting slight pressure on their toes, while holding the clippers, you can graduate to just clipping the very tip of the nail. Always mark the behaviour you like with an upbeat “YES” and reward right away. 9️⃣Start with just one nail at a time,

The first of two Queen’s today✨ This gorgeous girl isn’t silly, she requires a treat before every activity😂Which is more then fine with me because I get all the cuddles in return🥰 She’s still not sure about having her picture taken yet though😆 See you next time Dancer💙 . . . . . . #doggroomer #doggrooming #dogspa #doglove #greyhound
