A puppy photo dump to brighten your day💛
We absolutely love welcoming puppies into the salon and helping them start their grooming journey the right way.
That’s where Puppy University comes in 🎓
Puppy uni is all about gentle desensitisation – helping your puppy get used to the sights, sounds, smells and handling of a grooming salon before their first full groom. This early exposure builds confidence, reduces fear, and sets them up for calm, stress-free grooming for life.
✨ Why desensitisation matters:
Positive early experiences help prevent anxiety around grooming, dryers, clippers and handling. A relaxed puppy grows into a relaxed adult dog – making grooming safer, happier and more enjoyable for everyone.
Puppy University Stages:
🎓 Stage 1 – FREE Intro Session
A short meet & greet where your puppy stays with us for cuddles, fuss and reassurance. Dryers will be running quietly in the background so they can begin getting used to the noises, smells and general salon vibes.
🎓 Stage 2 – Table Time
We gently pop your puppy up on the grooming table for further desensitisation. Includes a nail trim, hygiene trim and eye clear (if needed), plus lots of cuddles and positive reinforcement.
🎓 Stage 3 – Bath & Light Tidy
A gentle bath and tidy, dried using our quiet stand dryers to help them adjust. Includes nail trim, pad trim, eye clear and hygiene where needed.
🎓 Stage 4 – Graduation Day!
Your puppy should now be ready for their first full groom 🎉
Sessions can be spaced out to suit your puppy and can be repeated if there’s anything they find a little scary – we always go at their pace.
