Special Care For Special Dogs

Puppy/Challenging Dog Grooming Packages

There is no need to worry or be embarrassed if your dog finds grooming difficult. I specialise in handling dogs that require extra care. Every dog is an individual, so if you have any worries about the grooming process, please get in touch.

Emma was so amazing with Loki, who was really struggling with the whole process. Loki and I can’t thank you enough for turning what was terrifying into something that became bearable, even giving her a cuddle towards the end of the groom. Emma’s patience kindness, and understanding was outstanding.

Absolutely fantastic service. I highly recommend Emma. Obi (7 month old Golden Retriever/Saint Bernard) has been loving his sessions. We opted for the puppy bundle, and in all honesty, Emma is underselling what she does over those four sessions. From her in-depth understanding of dogs, to the way she explains her methods, and her adapting to each dog’s needs has been amazing to listen to and watch her implement with her interactions with Obi.
Simply outstanding from session one to session four. Obi and I will be using Emma in the foreseeable future, or for as long as she is willing to put up with Obi being Obi.

Nervous/Reactive Dog Grooming

Grooming nervous and reactive dogs requires extra skills and patience. I have training and experience with nervous and reactive dogs. I have also been trained in safe handling techniques for dogs and how to reduce stress.

My 4-session package is designed to build your dog’s confidence and to help me build trust with your dog. Nervous dogs require a calm approach and the patience to allow them to get comfortable with the grooming area and the different stages of grooming.

The aim is to desensitise your dog using positive reinforcement and adapting the grooming regime to suit your dog’s individual needs.

Nervous/reactive dogs often find grooming stressful, which triggers the “fight or flight” reflex. Showing emotion, trying to escape, barking and howling are all common symptoms.

My 4-session package is designed to introduce your dog to the grooming process, allowing time for your dog to feel safe and as relaxed as possible. Grooming sessions are tailored to your dog’s needs.
