Introduction to Grooming Packages

Introducing Your Dog to the Grooming Experience

There’s a lot for puppies—and anxious dogs—to get used to in a grooming environment. From new sights and sounds to unfamiliar sensations, each element can feel overwhelming at first. That’s why we take a slow, supportive approach to introduce each part of the grooming process at your dog’s pace.

The Sights

Strange tools, a new space, and meeting someone unfamiliar (don’t worry—we won’t be strangers for long!).

The Smells

Shampoos, other dogs, and new humans—grooming has a unique scent profile that takes getting used to.

The Sounds

The rush of the bath hose, buzzing clippers, the snip of scissors, or the hum of the dryer—these can all be startling without gentle exposure.

The Sensations

Water from the shower, the feel of being up high on the table or in the bath, warm air from the dryer, grooming tools on their coat, nails being clipped, and gentle handling throughout.

The Tastes

Hopefully, lots of tasty treats to create positive associations!

How Our Training Grooms Help

Each session gradually introduces a new element of grooming while reinforcing what your dog has already learned. We build on progress week by week—helping your dog feel more comfortable, confident, and in control.

Our puppy packages aim to gently expose young dogs to grooming in a calm, positive way. By the time they reach six months of age, they’ll have had a series of low-stress introductions and some light coat maintenance.

For anxious or fearful dogs, we begin with our Training Grooms—slow, supportive sessions designed to reduce stress and build trust. Over time, we aim to transition them to standard grooming appointments when they’re ready.

Anxious Dog Packages

Has your dog had a tough start to their grooming journey? We’re Here to Help.

Maybe they show signs of anxiety—hesitating at the door, trying to escape, or appearing distressed.
Or perhaps they’ve become reactive or even aggressive when certain areas are groomed.

You're not alone—and it’s not too late to turn things around.
