I’ve posted this before and will post it again and again as it is such important information.

The severity of mats. Mats are more than just a tangle in your dogs coat. A lot of people are unaware just how detrimental a mat is. Here is some knowledge on mats that will be quite the eye opener.
1. Mats pull on the skin.
2. They harbor bacteria, dead skin, debri and can smell.
3. They can create sores and wounds underneath.
4. Mats in the paw pads or armpits can change your dogs gait.
5. They are painful just existing.
6. Creates bad blood circulation and can cause the blood to rush back to that area when removed. Hematomas. Bruising. Swelling.

Removing mats:
1. Removing mats by brushing them out takes ALOT of time. And therefore costs more money. It also is absolutely not comfortable to go through.
2. Brushing them out still damages that hair and damaged hair mats more easily.
3. Cutting them out can be dangerous especially if done by a non professional and will leave holes in the coat.
4. Clipping them out is still a lot of time, stressful and painful as the mats are pulled and tugged. It takes a very close (short) cut to get underneath mats to get them out. About 1/4 inch of coat will be left or bald spots.
5. When your dog needs the groomer to remove mats they are not set up for success. It is far more difficult to remain calm, comfortable and cooperative.

Puppies first groom!

Your haircut dog will spend over 300+ hours of their life with their groomer. Here are some ways to help them grow into calm, comfortable and cooperative grooming dogs.

1. Start early! You cannot cut their hair to soon. It is a myth that it will change or damage their coat. The sooner the better (8+weeks old). Puppies this young are really good about accepting the grooming process and soaking it up as a new learning experience where if you were to start late (6+ months) than they will be more inclined to have anxiety or fear surrounding all the new experiences. (Vibrating tools on their skin, being touched on every centimeter of their body, the industrial dryer, being away from parents, someone grabbing and clipping off their toenails, water sprayers, being asked to move around like an opposable action figure, new person, new smells and place, finger poking their ear or in their mouth to brush their teeth, so many new sounds.)

2. Ease them into it. Don’t request a full groom haircut for their very first experience. Start with coming to the shop for treats and attention. Maybe come in for just a nail trim. Start their first groom with an introduction for puppies, so just a bath, blow dry without an actual haircut. By the time you move on to an actual haircut they will be more confident in their surroundings, their groomer won’t be a stranger and will have established some trust and they will feel safer with the tools that are loud.

3. Have realistic expectations. One day that vision you have in your head as the perfect look will happen but a lot of it is up to your pup. Are they comfortable? Will they say still and safe? Have you worked with them and your groomer to help them succeed? Their first haircut may be a tad “sloppy” as they are learning but keep at it and that vision of your will come to fruition.

4. Communication with your groomer is key. They will walk you through anything you can do at home in between visits to help build your little ones confidence and how to maintain your loves coat.

Why is it important that my dog allow me to blow dry them? Maybe your groomer has told you your dog is scared or Wiley for the dryer. These are reasons why the dryer is an important step in the process and should be mastered by your dog.
1. In order To give an even , not choppy, haircut the hair must be straight. We get the coat straight with the blow dryer.
2. During a deshed the dryer helps push any undercoat out making sure your getting the full service.
3. The drying process it the part of the groom where your groomer can see your dogs skin, therefore able to report any signs of allergies, skin abrasions and more.
4. The high velocity dryer helps loosen any matting your dog has, pushing it from the skin and giving us the ability to give a slightly longer cut in a lot of cases.

Ways we as groomers can help your dog to be more comfortable and calm for drying.
1. We utilize cotton balls and a happy hoodie. A happy hoodie goes over the dogs ears to lighten the sound and provide a comfort with compression.
2. Starting at the back end over a towel on the lower setting will help ease a dog into the process, getting them used to the sound and pressure of the dryer.

Ways you can help your dog at home.
1. Turn the vacuum on and pull out the treats. A high reward treat when the approach the vacumm will train them that the sound is not scary.
2. Baths and blowdryer at home. Simply going through the process with a person they know and trust will build their confidence.

Your energy can be the difference between a great grooming dog or a difficult dog. They pick up on your apprehension, your soft touch brings curiosity and comfort and a soft voice will have them tuning in to what you’re saying. So next time you’re having a difficult time ask yourself “what did I bring to the table.”
