Great advice! Our dryers are an important step for us to give your furry friend a beautiful clip!

Why is it important that my dog allow me to blow dry them? Maybe your groomer has told you your dog is scared or Wiley for the dryer. These are reasons why the dryer is an important step in the process and should be mastered by your dog.
1. In order To give an even , not choppy, haircut the hair must be straight. We get the coat straight with the blow dryer.
2. During a deshed the dryer helps push any undercoat out making sure your getting the full service.
3. The drying process it the part of the groom where your groomer can see your dogs skin, therefore able to report any signs of allergies, skin abrasions and more.
4. The high velocity dryer helps loosen any matting your dog has, pushing it from the skin and giving us the ability to give a slightly longer cut in a lot of cases.

Ways we as groomers can help your dog to be more comfortable and calm for drying.
1. We utilize cotton balls and a happy hoodie. A happy hoodie goes over the dogs ears to lighten the sound and provide a comfort with compression.
2. Starting at the back end over a towel on the lower setting will help ease a dog into the process, getting them used to the sound and pressure of the dryer.

Ways you can help your dog at home.
1. Turn the vacuum on and pull out the treats. A high reward treat when the approach the vacumm will train them that the sound is not scary.
2. Baths and blowdryer at home. Simply going through the process with a person they know and trust will build their confidence.

Good morning, it’s been a while since I’ve posted. It’s time for an update. This year has been a busy year, with a move half way through. I want to take a minute to thank all my wonderful clients who stuck with me in this move, it truly means a lot. I’ve loved working from home, it’s been an incredible summer and fall, so much busier then I expected and that’s amazing! I’m looking forward to a busy December.
🎄 I still have a couple appointments left for December. Please message me if your interested in an appointment
🎅 There is still a bit of construction on the 210 so make sure to allow yourself a little extra time.
🎄 I will be taking Christmas pictures for the month of December.
🎅 Also a lot of people are concerned about weather and roads, No stress, we can’t control weather or sickness, we can always rebook.

I’ve had a few clients find me no problem, and some are getting lost, thanks to google. Here are the best directions. Hopefully this helps!

At Hwy 103 Exit 13, head west towards Caledonia on Hwy 325 for 6.5km, turn left onto Hwy 210 towards Greenfield. In approx 20km turn right onto Labelle Rd. Shortly after it becomes gravel turn right onto Narrows Rd West then take your 4th left onto Hidden Lake East Rd. We are civic 129, dark brown place with blue trim.

Happy First Day of May! Today is my opening day at my new shop. Thank you to everyone who has stuck with me during this move. It truly means a lot. I am so thrilled to get back to grooming! A lot of work went into this space with the help of my amazing husband, it’s cozy but it’s absolutely perfect. 💜🐶
Please if you have any questions regarding directions please don’t hesitate to ask, Labelle Road is the best way in to us.

Hi everyone, this is Danielle’s sister posting here for her.

Danielle has no power or internet at the moment as a logging truck took out some poles last night. She’s terribly sorry to be closed today but she is unable to be open. She will be in touch to reschedule 😊

Stay safe,
Megan
