March 6-8 Michaela and Mairead travelled to Ausgroom for an amazing day of seminars on Friday with the incredible Blake Hernandez and Cat Opson, followed by an afternoon of competing in creative for the first time on the Saturday and entering a model dog head!

Huge thank you as always to our supporters plus the sponsors, organisers and judges (plus all the behind the scenes people!) who make these events possible! Competing isn’t about winning, it’s about learning, connection within the industry and having a fun day out with your comp dog- and this event definitely delivered on all three so coming home with some ribbons is a cherry on top! Also so proud of some of our friends who had great success here it’s so much fun being able to cheer others in the ring 🥰

Tried to tag what I could but FB can be very fiddly 😅

Note: Colour isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, and it’s something reserved for dogs who are happy, calm and confident on the grooming table and who enjoy extra attention out and about 😁 we only use colour if client’s request it, and only use pet safe vegetable based dyes like Opawz following all safety protocols! Creative can use wash out dye, temp dye (lasts a few washes), semi permanent or permanent. Something simple like colourful ears or tail can be added on to most grooms if desired or more complex designs (eg leopard print, tiger stripes, zebra/ giraffe, etc) need special planning or may need to be done in multiple sessions. Mairead is our colour queens with her precision and application second to none- just look at her colour placement with Sage 🥰😍❤️

The last 8 weeks I haven’t been on top of the business admin as much as usual due to very limited time while I’ve been travelling to and from hospital and supporting my nan and dad. Unfortunately my beautiful grandma passed away this afternoon after almost 2 weeks in palliative care at the end of an 8 week hospital stay after a fall caused by Covid and a heart attack. Although we were prepared for her death, it’s a very hard time for me and I’m hoping to catch up on all my admin by late next week. Online booking requests block off the time requested, so if you have a pending booking awaiting approval presume the booking will be approved I just haven’t had a chance to go through everything from this week and last yet x

I am so grateful to have had the chance to say goodbye (and bring her dog to her to say goodbye at the hospice who is now going to slay with me most of the time), and so thankful to have had her in my life as she helped raise me. She lived 85 years of life full of love and was totally at peace and ready to pass on.

Grandma always supported my many passions (no matter how strange- even when my love of animal extended to insects and bugs as a kid and later on as an adult!) and we shared many joys such as a love of cooking, finding peace in the beach and enjoying the company of a good book.
To quote the late Terry Pratchett, “No one is actually dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away” and with 5 children, 12 grandchildren and many more great grandchildren, it’s safe to say her memory will live on for many more lifetimes ❤️
Reminder that we never have enough time with our loved ones both two and four legged so hold them close and tell them you love them every chance you get xx

And some more of our gorgeous pups from recent times!
Including the Akita who came in for her first ever salon groom a few weeks ago and did phenomenally! 🥰❤️

And the gorgeous golden duo came in as well a few weeks ago 😁

We haven’t been doing as many social media posts lately, so I’m catching up this week and getting back on track with your weekly dose of adorable fluffs again 🥰❤️

My official pictures from the Pet Show 2025 Grooming comp a couple weeks ago! 🥰❤️

Had such a fabulous time competing in Asian fusion for the first time and so thrilled to have gotten a first place with Marshmellow who I only met 2 weeks before the comp! At just over a year old it was risky competing with a young dog who 1. Didn’t know me well and 2. Had never been in that sort of environment especially away from his mum but he acted like a seasoned professional! So grateful to his lovely family for lending him to me for the day 🥰❤️

A huge thank you to the sponsors including and other sponsors I may have missed- comps couldn’t run without sponsors and I’m thrilled with the generous prizes!

Also a huge shout out to .scissors which I did most of my groom using! The extreme curves were fantastic for carving in my first bow 😍

Haven’t posted pics for a while so here’s a bunch of our good girls and boys from the last couple months! 😁

Some of our gorgeous girls and boys from the last couple months!
We’ve been a bit slow with social media lately, but hoping to amp up our pics a bit more again to share the love for our wonderfully adored clients! We’ve also had a recent influx of new puppy clients so can’t wait to watch them grow up too 🥰❤️

Feeling so grateful looking through some of these pics for the clients who love styled and breed cuts as we have so so much fun making your dogs look as cute or as prik and proper they can be! Having a variety of breeds is so important for developing our younger staff, so we’ve had so much fun being able to practice less common breeds like this beautiful Airedale duo Bonnie and Clive! 🥰❤️
But we also love doing Teddy bears and a little Asian fusion adorableness whether on a crossbreed or a fun twist on a purebred trim!

Like most businesses, many of our overheads have increased over the last 18 months since our last price rise. As a result, we have had a small price rise for the New Year as mentioned to clients in person and via sms for the last couple months. As of January 1 2025, these are our new starting prices 😊 previously our $3 sustainable salons green fee was added to each groom as a service fee however with the new prices this fee has been built in so for most grooms there is only a $7-$12 increase to the overall price. We will continue to have a 1.6% card fee and may be removing Afterpay as an option for payment at some stage this year. If you have any concerns about the removal of Afterpay please reach out as I may be able to offer a payment plan through the shop directly for regular clients.

Some clients, particularly our “VIP” clients who come 2-3 weekly without fail and clients whose grooms take a much shorter than average duration for their dog’s pricing bracket, may be kept on grandfather pricing on a case by case basis at Urban Furdo’s discretion.

As part of our change, we have introduced a new “Giant” category to separate our much larger XL clients such as Newfoundlands, leonbergers, etc which will be for all dogs approximately 45kg+ but like all prices, final size is determined by duration of groom with weight as a rough guideline so some clients over 45kg may be kept as XLs for their pricing.

Our extras menu is for add on services to grooming appointments as well as walk in prices for services like nail trims. Nail clipping is included in all grooming services 😊

If there are any questions or queries regarding the change or to check your price change, feel free to reach out for a 2025 quote 🥰

We would like to make an exciting announcement that we have a new team member joining us at Urban Furdo!
We will be welcoming Rhio as our new junior grooming and retail assistant this year! Rhio has recently moved to Melbourne for study all the way from sunny Townsville where he developed his dog handling skills by assisting his mum in her grooming business and working in a luxury pet resort. Rhio will be helping the team by bathing and drying some of our pooches to prepare for their haircuts which will allow us to groom a couple extra dogs some days and open up some extra appointments. He is especially looking forward to working with larger breeds particularly Irish wolfhounds as he has one back home, but he has an appreciation for every dog small or big, fluffy or hairless 🥰 Rhio also brings with him a particularly in depth knowledge regarding Guinea pig grooming and care as he has looked after many and even showed his pet Guinea pigs for a while- so if any clients have questions about their own little piggies he may be your new guinea pig guru!

Rhio will be learning his way around the salon the next few weeks and doing a lot of check ins and check outs to get used to our programs and software and of course to meet all of our wonderful clients! I appreciate everybody’s kindness and patience as starting a new job and learning new practices is a huge adjustment already let alone learning lots of new clients’ faces and names on top as well. We can’t wait to watch him grow with the salon and add his own creative flair and input on how we operate. Keep an eye on our online bookings as we’ll have a few extra grooming spots and some extra bath only spots opening up for the next few weeks onwards ❤️

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Karen Pryor after losing her fight against dementia and send my deepest condolences to her family and friends. Karen is arguably the single most influential person on modern dog training techniques and positive reinforcement based training approaches. Karen dedicated her life to learning to understand and better communicate with dogs and other animals such as marine life and sharing that knowledge with others. She revolutionised positive behavioural modification and training techniques and is credited with developing clicker training- which is still regarded as one of the most effective training techniques for teaching things as simple as a sit right up to complex chained behaviours like driving a car! (Seriously- look it up!)

Karen has authored many books in the behavioural psychology field such as “Don’t Shoot the Dog”, “Clicker Training for dogs and cats”, “Click to Win”, “On My Mind: Reflections on Animal Behavior and Learning” and “On Behavior: Essays & Research”. I often recommend her most renowned book “don’t shoot the dog” to clients struggling to understand, communicate with and train their pooch and always have such good feedback from people close to throwing in the towel! I’ve read a lot of her works and enjoyed studying and utilising her techniques while studying behavioural modification at TAFE. Clicker training is the first animal training technique I ever used when I was about 10 with the family cat. I still remember the rush of happiness when I realised I had managed to teach my cat the word “sit” and it genuinely felt like I could finally “talk” to animals around me through reinforcement based training methods. Every time you’ve felt that same thrill from teaching your pets a new word/ behaviour using either a clicker or a bridge word like “yes” and a treat is in partial thanks to this very special lady!
