We only use natural and organic products. Our products are soap free and all natural.
Essential oils in both shampoos and final rinses add condition and lustre to dogs coats. Oils are of great benefit when treating skin irritations and other physical ailments. They are also of great benefit in dealing with stressed and anxious animals.
Our room remains quiet and calm - as we groom only one household at a time, animals that bark or become anxious are not influencing others around them. We work with animals previously traumatised by grooming environments and together with owners work patiently over time to aid recovery. The individual appointment system prevents your dog having to be with us for hours on end waiting in a crate for its turn on the grooming table.
We spend time massaging and using pressure points during the bathing process to calm and relax your dog Young pups are our speciality We spend time with them playing and treating together with positively encouraging calm behaviours during handling. Your pup will learn to 'love' being brushed!
A generously discounted 'baby pup program' available. -

Training & Pup parent coaching
PUP CLASSES are held over a 4 week period and are an introduction in ideal communication between dog and parent.
Our emphasis is on learning to be part of the 'human world' Being a good canine within a human social group is about understanding how to be calm and develop self control We discuss & practice 'sit' & 'sit-stay' when asked, calm greetings to humans (doorway manners), playing nicely with other dogs, & becoming a 'social well-mannered' youngster Problem solving looks at chewing, toilet issues, jumping up & attention seeking, exercise & nutritional requirements.
Classes are kept to very small groups to allow plenty of personal attention PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL TRAINING is available to the time poor or for dogs who concentrate best without the distraction of others. We take the opportunity to asses specific problems and address housing/management issues on site.
OWNER EDUCATION sessions are a quick and fun way to solving problems that owners are experiencing together with developing a better understanding of communication with animals. We use discussion, DVDs, information flyers and demonstrations to arm owners with the best tools. A comfy 'dog-free' environment so everyone can concentrate and get the most out of the session. Refreshments included.
Our trainer Kath has over 12 years professional experience in the dog training world Her methods are only positive (i.e NO yelling, pushing, or choker chains) allowing an enjoyable bonding process for all parties. Children (over 8) are welcome at sessions and are warmly encouraged to participate.
