Sweet little Vesta
A lot of anxious dogs do better in a calm, quiet setting instead of a busy, noisy one. Vesta is one of those dogs. I am so happy her human mama found me because she now doesn’t have to fear getting a haircut ever again. 🥰🐾

Start to finish groom on Ms. Abby
Like I said in my previous post, this wasn’t a typical groom, but I work with the dogs and what they can/will tolerate. Abby was a very sweet ol girl, but she was very anxious so I did not push her beyond her level of tolerance.
I work with my dogs, not against them.
When you step through my front door, your dog becomes a part of my grooming family! ❤️
Oakie went short for spring.

5 month old Sadie came in for her first haircut today! She soaked up the love and when I was blow drying her she put her chin to my chest and loved the warm air blowing on her face. It was seriously the cutest thing ever!!

Sweet little Roxy!
I am blessed to have the most amazing clients 🥰
Sweet Luna came in to see me
My tripod had a mind of its own yesterday it seems.
I had the pleasure of giving Bella a good spring clean up last week! I still remember the first time she came into my old shop almost 13 years ago as a tiny little pup for her first grooming! 🐾🥰
I’m pretty sure I could shear a sheep 🐑😆
Groomed sweet Dolly today for the first time! She has such a fun and spunky personality!

Fluffy Mr. Oakie had his first grooming.
I try very hard to get dogs and puppies groomed without the use of a noose. I believe we should work as a team without the use of tools to “make” a dog do what I want/need it to do. When I establish my expectation right from the start, they learn very quickly. Dogs understand energy, even if they don’t understand the words I am saying to them. I usually don’t have much or any knowledge on their training or basic commands but when I ask them to stay when they think about jumping off the table, they feel the energy behind the words and I actually see their little brains think and then stop.
A few times throughout Oakie’s grooming he thought about jumping off and I calmly told him to stay, he looked right at me and did just that.
A noose doesn’t give the dog an option to make the choice for themselves, it forces them into it. And personally, if someone tries to force me to do something, it’s probably not going to go over very well. I do my very best to treat each dog with dignity and respect because they most definitely deserve it!
The only time I typically use a noose is in the bathtub… but even then for over half the dogs I groom I don’t need to, because they know what is being asked of them, and they truly don’t mind having a bath. Also a noose in the bathtub is more of a safety measure than anything. If a wet dog was to try and jump out of my tub they could wind up seriously injured, and that is the LAST thing I would ever want!
It was a pleasure to groom Oakie and I am looking forward to getting to know this cute dudes personality more! 🐶
