I use quiet tools and practice low stress handling. Because every grooming experience is shaping confidence and positive vibes for that next appointment. I believe in adaptive grooming. If a big dog needs to lay down, I let him. Smaller dog needs to be held and not stand on the table ? No problem! Any sign of stress is a signal for a break and reset, this reassures worried pets that their body language is being listened to , and heard. I am always a student , an eager learner, and that means I am always refining my knowledge and tool set so I feel good about what Iām doing and give a higher quality experience to you !
