The most important takeaway from that session a few years ago was to remove the proactive role before addressing the try problem which was the fear of humans.

Update / announcement!

I’ve been missing all of you so much. Maternity leave has been busy—Hailey is now 7 months old and doing wonderfully. It was a rocky start, but she’s been the perfect addition to our family.

I’ll be coming back slowly come January with a soft launch! What I mean is I’ll be accepting limited number of appointments each week while I slowly build a new schedule based on priority first! Then come March I’ll be taking on more hours :) .
I’ll be prioritizing dogs who’ve had a harder time while I was away—especially those regressing into fear with a temporary tech or struggling with nail fear. Spots will be offered based on need rather than first-come, first-served.

To my kind animal lovers in the pet industry (vets, groomers, trainers): please pause referrals. 🙏My return will focus on existing clients only. But once my hours increase over time I may have that wiggle room ☺️.

If your dog is doing well with you, another groomer, or at home, please don’t feel pressure or feel bad if you decide not to come back. This is about your schedule and your dog’s comfort. I’ll miss your pup, but I want what’s best for them. (And hearing that dogs who once couldn’t be touched are now thriving is music to my ears!) I’m cheering for you!

To all of my previous clientelle , thank you for the space and the much-needed maternity leave, but feel free to message me with updates—good or bad. I truly miss you guys and can’t wait to see some of you again in January. I’ll let you know when it’s time to start booking and we’ll go from there! Thank you for your patience and support.

Tomorrow we’re uploading how we took a fearful/ reactive pup and how we changed her perspective of people.

When helping your dog overcome a fear, it’s best to avoid projecting your own uncertainty or insecurity. Staying quiet can help you maintain a calm, confident “fake it till you make it” energy, showing your pup that the situation is safe—rather than inadvertently signaling anxiety through your tone of voice.

Ps. Miss my dogs! 🤍
