Where did this person study economics?
This is exactly the type of client I don’t want .
Who in their right mind compares the costs associated with taking care of one of your family members to a VEHICLE??

Logic chases —-but this client is too fast.

Getting to groom a show quality cocker spaniel is a TREAT for any groomer who really loves their career. The cocker spaniel was my first official AKC show dog when I was 11-12 years old . (My true first were black Labrador retrievers)
So it’s quite nostalgic to have this gorgeous boy on my table. His name is Oliver and I had the privilege of grooming him when he was a tiny baby and then his mommy took over the job as she is an EXCELLENT groomer and keeps his coat in in immaculate shape without one single knot or tangle, and he is in a full show Coat. Sometimes moms need a break and just want someone else to step in and take over for a minute and I am happy to do that for her. It was a pleasure to see him again. Oliver is also one of my training students in our Wednesday night sessions . He will be joining us in the fall, aiming for his Canine Good citizen certification.

What does your Board & Train look like at 6:00am ?
Our in home B&T is calm and relaxed while everyone remains in their
“Place ”
The beautiful skill of staying put wherever they are told.
On a cot, on a chaise, daybed or floor.
This valuable skill is one of the fundamentals that is practiced while your dog stays with me. When it’s time to move , they are released with one word spoken calmly and quietly. You won’t even hear me release —only Valentijn— in this video. I offer very limited availability while only taking in 2 dogs at a time to melt into the 4 dog pack. Fritz the German Shepherd just went home from his B&T and learned a new skill of walking beside the bike.

Be careful what trainer you choose-

Customers across Southeast Michigan say they were left out thousands of dollars after paying for dog training services they claim were never provided by Great Lakes Dog Training.

At Dunedin Happy Tails we don’t just do top level grooming - we do training- we do boarding - we do small scale daycare for no more than 5 dogs at a time. These are a few of our clients practicing the “ place “
While we groom our clients, these dogs are asked to remain on their cots until they are released. This teaches so many things through the simple act of “remaining neutral where you are asked to safely stay while everything goes on around you”.

Another beautiful Doodle Boy comes to us from a not so nice groomer who told his mommy that she “ is stressed out everytime she sees his name on the schedule “
We were blown away to hear this after his time with us because he was EXCELLENT… not just ok BUT EXCELLENT. We’ll take all the babes no matter what the perceived issues. 🩷 we can handle them🩷Thank you Andrea for choosing us to take care of Trooper. See you soon.😘
