I recommend puppy grooming at 9-10 weeks old, around a week after you have introduced them to their new home.
Puppy grooms are complete with lots of happy praise and puppy treats!
I gently train your puppy to accept each part of the grooming process and associate it as a positive experience. A dog who is well behaved at the groomers is beneficial to me, you and of course your puppy.
I offer a puppy package which is tailored to ensure your puppy becomes gently desensitised to grooming and will enjoy coming for their appointments.
Session 1: Meet and Treat!
A short visit to my salon for a look and sniff around, including in the bath and on the table, with lots of treats. I also will turn on the shower, dryer and clippers while they are here to help desensitise them to the noise
Session 2: Puppy groom 1
A bath with one shampoo rinse, blaster dry with no nozzle and nail trim. Depending how they react I may trim their paw pads too, plus trim fur from their eyes.
Session 3: Puppy groom 2
A bath with two shampoo rinses, blaster dry with a nozzle, brush, nail trim and paw pad clip out. Scissor trim around eyes, mouth, tail and paws. Essentially a ‘mini groom’. I will also turn the clippers on and glide them over their body without taking any fur off.
Session 4: First full groom!
Everything from the previous session plus a full body, head and leg trim with the clippers. The fur length is dependant on your choice, and your puppy’s coat condition.
I can also add on introduction to teeth cleaning to session 3 and 4 for an extra charge.
