My Philosophy

Many dogs find a visit to the groomers to be a stressful an unpleasant experience, in some

cases it can affect them for life.  My ethos is not to generate a conveyor belt service, but one

that provides a positive and enjoyable experience, using Fear Free protocols for the dogs in my

care with no compromise. It generally takes around 2 hours for a full groom allowing time for

rest if required (good for elderly dogs) or several short drying sessions if needed to avoid

increasing anxiety.  I will not force dogs or over restrain them to carry out grooming procedures

but work with them to make the experience as stress-free as possible.

I graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Canine Behaviour & Training in 2012. The knowledge and experience gained on the course, 
coupled with kind handling and equipment that will provide the most comfort for my canine customers.
