Mountain View Dog Spaw

Mountain View Dog Spaw I believe grooming should be a calm, comfortable, and positive experience — one that feels just as good as it looks. I offer the usual grooming services.

Your dog’s comfort and wellbeing will always be at the heart of everything I do. 💙🐾 I am originally from Campbell River BC, which is located on Vancouver Island. I have been grooming for 18 years (professionally for 16) I did two years combined of school and mentoring and once I was confident in my skills, I opened my first Grooming salon. I have been running successful, brick and mortar salons si

nce then. I am very happy to be slowing down and offering one on one Grooming Services in a small, professionally equipped shop in my home. I only use professional top of the line products. I don't sell myself by complicating my services with fancy names or packages and I don't up sell with add on's. A bath and tidy, undercoat removal, full grooms, nail trims and a**l gland expression. If there is something else your looking for I can most likely provide it. Grooming is not an easy job, it is very physically demanding even on the best days. Despite this, it is my passion. I pride myself on being the person dogs run too for sniffs and pets out at the park or in other public venues. I have always had a way with dogs and am often able to get them to trust me in a ways that others have not been able to. This skill of trust building has made it possible for me to get the nails clipped on dogs that the owner says nobody else can do, or get a nice even hair cut on when they typically won't let shears or clippers near them without fidgeting or pulling away. I don't always guarantee the perfect hair cut but I do guarantee that your pup will be handle with a gentle and patient touch and will be treated as my own. I am very excited to be able to offer my services in the area!

My daughter is starting a home baking business. She’s extremely talented at baking, decorating and really anything creative and artistic. She needs some support getting it off the ground… so I’m asking all my wonderful clients to support her, if you can. Even a small purchase and a shared comment goes so far, when starting a business like this! This is extra special to me because I’m very proud of everything she does, but she’s doing her baking along side her two young daughters, so I know they will learn from her! 🩷

A grooming video from a Louisiana salon has gone viral, and if it hasn’t hit your feed yet, it probably will soon.

Posted by the salon itself, the clip shows a small dog tethered in a restraint that’s dangerously high. The setup leaves the dog’s front paws unable to touch the tub floor, forcing it to dangle helplessly while enduring high-pressure water sprays. The dog thrashes, rolls, gasps for air, eyes bulging in pure terror.
And they posted it as a joke.
When concerned viewers called it out, the response was dismissive: “We can’t help it if a dog doesn’t like water.”
Let me be crystal clear:
A dog fighting to breathe in panic is not funny.
Terror is not amusing.
Severe distress is not content.

This is heartbreaking. This is unacceptable. And this is precisely why our industry desperately needs enforceable standards and accountability.
Grooming isn’t just about a neat trim. It’s about caring for sentient animals who depend on us completely for their safety and well-being. When a dog is too fearful to proceed safely, the ethical response is never force. It’s patience, positive training, gentle modified handling, or (when necessary) politely declining the service and referring elsewhere.

This profession demands more than technical skill. It requires:
• Genuine patience
• Ongoing education
• Real expertise in behavior and handling
• Above all, deep compassion and heart
Dogs deserve to feel secure in our care. As professionals, we owe them exactly that, no exceptions.
If I’m not the right groomer for your dog, that’s perfectly fine. But please do your homework. Ask pointed questions:
• What are your credentials and certifications?
• How did you learn your handling techniques?
• Are you trained in Fear Free or low-stress methods?
• How do you handle fearful or anxious dogs?
Because right now, the grooming industry in canada and thE US has no mandatory regulations or licensing standards.

Anyone can open shop and call themselves a professional, with little oversight.
We can and must do better. For the dogs. For the owners who trust us. For the future of our field.
