🖤🐾SASHA🐾🖤
I met dear Sasha back in November 2024. Sasha was frightened of everything about grooming 😢 previous experiences had led to serious anxiety when it came to grooming time.
We took things very slowly to build up trust, starting with 30 minute sessions to groom as much as Sasha could cope with, listening to her when she signalled she has had enough. We groomed on the floor as the table was a huge trigger for Sasha and her face and paws were a no go area.
Fast forward to July 2025 and we have progressed so far. Now Sasha walks in happily with me, is able to be groomed on the table, will allow me to groom her legs and paws and this last session, even her face 😍 we still stick to shorter sessions, 45/60 minutes and leave time for fuss and treats of course.
I’m so so pleased for Sasha that she has learnt that grooming doesn’t have to be scary and can end with a waggy tail 🥰
