If you didn’t know, I definitely practice humanity over vanity, I work with a lot of dogs who require special attention and needs. I love what I do, I enjoy building bonds with dogs that are nervous when they come in… I love seeing the progress me and your dog make during every visit. I’m not here to turn down your dog for behavior issues, I will work with them! It’s all about building up trust and confidence in your pooch!
Humanity over vanity
What does this mean? In dog grooming this means picking your pet over everything else. It’s when we don’t dry the face bone dry or we scissor the legs instead of using the clippers. We are choosing humanity when we shave Matting instead of brushing it out.
It’s a culmination of knowledge, skill, technique, experience and compassion.
By choosing humanity over vanity we are helping to build a confident trusting grooming dog with positive experiences.
We don’t want your dog to reach its threshold. We don’t ever want to get them to a place where they are shaking, pooping, crying, biting or puking in fear. It is our job together to help them instead of hindering them. Communicate with your groomer, know how they will handle your dogs specific needs. Will they hold them down, push them through it, brush until they’re both crying? Or will they slow down, try a different approach, give breaks, shave the matting?
