💥Did you know mobile grooming can make life so much easier for both dogs/cats and their owners?

🐾 Busy pet owners — If you work from home or struggle to find the time to travel to a grooming salon, we come straight to your door!
🐾 Nervous or anxious dogs — Being groomed in a familiar environment can help reduce the stress of travelling and visiting a busy salon.
🐾 Older dogs — For senior dogs who may struggle with travelling, walking or getting in and out of the car, mobile grooming can be a more convenient option.
🐾 Dogs with additional needs — Some dogs benefit from a quieter, more individual grooming experience tailored to their needs without the noise and chaos of a salon.
🐾 Multi-dog households — No more loading all the dogs into the car! We can make grooming day much easier for you.
🐾 Owners without transport — If you don't drive or find travelling difficult, mobile grooming brings the service right to your doorstep.
💕 Most importantly, mobile dog grooming offers convenience, individual attention and a more personalised experience for you and your four-legged friend.
📩 Get in touch today to find out how mobile grooming could benefit your dog! 🐾

Sully's sock removal training part 4-5 (tug the sock till it's off my footsie)

Clicking and treat for steps in right direction for end behaviour...
Next steps- doing this in every room and changing my position from sitting to standing.
Total time per session is 5 minutes, total sessions so far 7.
35 mins from knowing nothing about socks to learning removing socks = good things.

All without using fear/pain based methods or 'tools' 😬🙄

When we change our wording and think of the real need behind the behaviour. We can meet it with more purpose and calm.

How we bath cats 🥰🐈

Tina had her regular bath session. She's been getting a wet bath 2-3x a year since she was a wee kitten (she's now 12) so she's used to it and knows what to expect.
She's vocal about it with water, so we work quickly through the parts she isn't keen on, and then she's purring away for the combing and drying🥹

First it's a suds up with cat friendly shampoo with the bucket and loofah method...
Step 2 is a rinse with the shower nozzle removed (the shower hissing can upset cats in my experience, so we don't use the shower head)
Step 3 is a chamois cloth to remove excess water from the coat
Step 4 is a gentle towel dry
Then we comb the coat to remove shedding fur and any tangles
And finally a kitty burrito wrap in a warm towel to dry the coat as much as possible and a final comb through.
And of course, LOTS of treats after so she feels all this was worth it to be beautiful again ❤️
