Dog Training - Grooming

For some dogs (breed & coat dependent) grooming can happen once a month!

That’s a whole lot of washing, clippers, scissors and other grooming tools to get used to and can be nerve-wracking for nervous, anxious, or rescue dogs who might have had bad experiences in the past.

Besides our complimentary puppy exposure, we want to do more to aid in training for owners. Feel confident you know the right brushes, techniques & products to groom at home, build confidence and desensitise your pup (at any age) and build the best experiences for you and your dog.
