Today I had the pleasure of grooming Quinn.
Blind from birth but unknown to his owners until after he came home from the breeder, Quinn has the heart of a true angel.
Trying to see the world from his perspective I introduced him to my grooming space slowly, tapping on surfaces, keeping him close to me and talking calmly while allowing him to sniff as much as he needed to. With a natural cheerful confidence, he was ready to hop in the bath.
Quinn's dad stayed while I introduced him to his first hyrdobath, lots of low calm talking from me and encouragement from dad meant he settled quickly and dad left me to it.
Whilst he handled the dryer ok, he was much happier when my hubby (Tristan) came out to say hello. Even Tristan felt the connection with Quinn, so he shelved his morning plans to stay and comfort him. Tristan was a perfect dryer buddy while I continued the hard work or drying and grooming his thick, luscious coat, trimming feet and nails too.
I can honestly say I've not met a dog like him before, and I am so pleased to have met him and his dad. Their bond is beautiful and I can't wait to see Quinn again soon 🥰🥰
