Puppy Introduction to Grooming Course
A gentle and safe approach to a lifetime of grooming
The importance of teaching your dog to enjoy being groomed cannot be overestimated. Dogs live for 10 to 15 years. That’s up to 120 grooms over their lifetime! Wouldn’t you rather the grooming experience be stress free for your pooch and you?
With 3 sessions over a 3 month period, you will learn about dog health and anatomy, how to safely handle your dog and how to maintain their coat in between grooms. Your dog will learn that being groomed does not have to be something they fear, but rather an enjoyable experience that is a routine part of life and nothing at all to worry about.
The course aims to gently introduce the sights, smells and experiences of a professional salon over time. Basic grooming will be introduced and owners will be given tips and techniques to practice at home to desensitise your pup to any fears that may become a problem later. By providing positive and fun grooming from the get-go, your pup will associate grooming with good times and look forward to their regular grooming sessions.
- Aimed at puppies from 4 – 6 months old (must be fully immunised)
- Classes will be capped at 4 participants
- Quiet learning environment
- Learn from a certified professional groomer
- Sensitive natural products
- Understand how to care for your dog between grooms with some easy tips and techniques
