As an ABC Certified Positive Dog Trainer, I will be monitoring your dog's body language through the whole groom. If your pup is not used to being groomed, we may need to train and work up to all the grooming activities and associated tools and sounds. Your dog will receive positive reinforcement through the whole process, as well as the typical benefits of professional grooming! Dogs feel better following the pampering of a grooming. Regular trimming of their nails supports mobility and comfort, de-shedding helps the natural shedding process and promotes skin health!

Something to Know

Regarding Shave-downs:

Did you know? Shaving a dog's fur does not cool them off, and keeping their fur long does not make them hot!

​

Not all dog's coats are meant to be cut into or shaved. For example, breeds like the Australian Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and German Shepeherds, they have a double-coat that is specialy designed to self-regulate temperature and protect their skin from the sun. A dog whose coat is shaved, that is not meant for shaving, ruins their coat. Even if the hair returns, their natural ability to regulate temperature (hot or cold) is compromised, and their coat is damaged and will not grow back the same. 

​

The proper way to cool a dog is via the paw pads and belly. Never leave a dog out in extreme temperatures, whether hot or cold!
