My neighbor got tired of everyone stopping at her house thinking it's mine and made me a new sign. Sorry Sally! But the sign is amazing, thank you so much!

I had the most amazing opportunity to groom this sweet, sweet girl last night. She's a rescued Cavapoo, 4 years old. She came from either a puppy mill or a breeder. She was very stinky even though her foster Mom gave her a couple baths. I'm not sure, but this may be the cutest dog ever!

This week's breed spotlight... The English Foxhound!

A Glimpse of Elegance and Athleticism 🐾

The English Foxhound, a breed steeped in history, graced the stage at the last Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. These medium-sized hounds, known for their speed, stamina, and keen sense of smell, are not only historically significant but also possess captivating personalities.

Beyond their athletic prowess, English Foxhounds are gentle giants. They are known for their friendly and sociable nature, making them wonderful companions for families. Their expressive eyes and gentle demeanor can melt even the coldest of hearts.

While these hounds are quite rare in the United States, their presence at Westminster serves as a reminder of their rich heritage and timeless appeal.

This week, I'm spotlighting a groom that wasn't about looks but necessity. Sometimes, life gets hectic, and even the simplest tasks like brushing our pets can slip through the cracks. Before we know it, their fur is matted beyond repair. It happens to the best of us. In these situations, the kindest thing to do is to shave the matted fur and start fresh. That's exactly what Stetson's owner did! Now, Stetson is much more comfortable and ready for a fresh start. Way to go for prioritizing your dog's well-being!

Okay, y'all wanted some true tales. Here's one that makes me want to cry and smile all at once. I hope you enjoy.

I groom a lot of dogs in bad shape. Some are worse than others. I remember the day little... Let's call her Daisy... came in. She was a small, trembling thing, her once soft fur matted all the way to her skin. Her eyes held a mixture of fear and resignation. It was clear she hadn't been groomed in a long time and was in a lot of discomfort.

I knew this was going to be a long, arduous task. I started slowly, gently shaving the mats. Daisy whimpered, her body tense. I could feel her fear and discomfort. But I persevered, working patiently, offering gentle words of encouragement.

Hours later, I was finally able to give her a much-needed bath. As the warm water rinsed away the dirt and grime, Daisy seemed to relax a little. Her eyes, once filled with fear, began to soften.

When I was finished, Daisy was a different dog. Her fur was soft and fluffy, her eyes bright and full of life. She wagged her tail, a huge difference from when she came in. It was a small victory, but it meant the world to me.

I knew that I had made a difference in Daisy's life, and that was the most rewarding feeling of all, making all the work seem worthwhile. So, while I hate seeing dogs in bad shape, I love making them more comfortable and improving their lives.

Have any of you seen similar situations or were you able to feel like you made a difference in a dog's life and enjoyed that feeling like I have? I'd love to hear your stories!

We groomers often see things with your dogs that might not be so obvious to you. Sometimes it’s a little quirk, and other times it’s something more serious. Have you noticed any of these signs?

* Anxiety or Fear: Does your pup seem overly stressed around certain people, places, or noises?

* Avoidance: Is your dog hiding or avoiding eye contact?
*
* Changes in Behavior: Has your dog's appetite, sleep, or energy levels changed?
*
* Physical Signs: Does your dog tremble, pant, or seem tense, even in calm situations?
If you’ve noticed any of these, it might be time to address the issue.
Here are a few common scenarios and how to handle them:

* Grooming Nightmares: If bath time turns into a battle, we can help you introduce grooming gradually with positive reinforcement.

* Nail Clipping Chaos: Does your dog dread the nail clipper? A professional groomer can help you desensitize them to the process.

* Vet Visits from Hell: Car rides and vet visits can be stressful. Try calming techniques at home and consult your vet for advice.

* Dog Park Drama: If your dog's playdates turn into a brawl, gradual socialization with other friendly dogs can help.

* Training Troubles: Is your dog ignoring your commands? Re-evaluate your training methods and seek professional help if needed.
*
Remember, early intervention is key. Don’t wait until your dog's anxiety becomes overwhelming. Positive reinforcement is powerful. Use treats, praise, and patience to help your dog overcome their fears. And if you’re struggling, don’t hesitate to seek professional help. Sometimes your groomer can be a great resource for training help but sometimes a certified dog trainer or veterinary behaviorist called for and can provide expert guidance.
