Enrolment Day
Enrolment day offers a 30 minute & greet, this is where we get the pleasure of meeting both you and your new puppy for the first time!
The idea is to keep it light, short and upbeat and is usually accompanied with a little bribe or two!
We’ll give you both a tour of the salon, introducing your puppy to the new sounds and smells of the salon they will experience during their visits with us. This is also a good opportunity to have a discussion around home-grooming and coat-care.
Your pup goes home happy, and with a treat!

Fresher’s Week is where we actually begin the process of grooming your new puppy!
By now you’ll have seen the salon and our equipment, and so it’s now time to leave your pup with us while we ease them into their first grooming session.
This session introduces your puppy to the bathing process, giving them a gentle wash in our natural shampoo from top to toe. We will then slowly introduce them to the dryer on a low setting, providing lots of reassurance and cuddles during the process. Once they are dry, they will be thoroughly brushed and combed out ensuring they are tangle free. We will then clip their nails and clean their ears as well as introducing them to the clippers ready for their next session. This session usually lasts 30-45 minutes.

How important is it to start grooming your puppy early?
THERE IS NO “TOO YOUNG” AGE FOR YOUR PUPPY TO VISIT THE GROOMERS
Starting grooming at a young age is essential for a puppy's physical and emotional development. Early grooming helps your puppy become familiar with the process, making them more comfortable with being handled and groomed as they grow. It prevents fear or anxiety during grooming sessions and establishes trust between you and your pet.
By introducing grooming as a positive experience from puppyhood, you lay the foundation for a lifelong habit that benefits their well-being and makes grooming stress-free for both of you.
Builds Positive Associations
Puppies are naturally curious and more adaptable during their early months, making it the perfect time to get them accustomed to brushing, nail trimming, and bathing.
By pairing grooming with treats, praise, and gentle handling, we can turn what might otherwise be a stressful experience into an enjoyable one.
Prevents Behavioral Issues
A puppy that isn't introduced to grooming early may develop behavioral issues when handled later in life. They might resist nail trimming, fear brushes, or even become anxious during visits to the groomer.
Early grooming establishes a routine and teaches them to stay calm and cooperative, which can significantly reduce stress for both you and your dog as they grow.
