āœ‚ļø EMILY IS READY FOR HER NEXT STEP — MODEL DOGS WANTED! āœ‚ļø
Following on from our introduction to Emily, we’re delighted to share that, thanks to her hard work, dedication and fantastic progress over the last few months, she’s now ready to start developing her clipping and sc******ng skills on some lovely model dogs!

We’re so pleased with how Emily is progressing. Her attention to detail, thoroughness and enthusiasm have been fantastic, and we’re more than confident in her abilities. However, as with any skill, learning takes time, patience and practice — and that’s where you and your four-legged friends can help!

🐶 WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We’re looking for coated breeds who are due a full groom, including clipping and/or sc******ng. These appointments will be HEAVILY DISCOUNTED in return for helping Emily gain valuable hands-on experience!

A few important things to consider before getting in touch:
- Your dog must be reasonably well behaved and comfortable with the grooming process.
- Training appointments will take longer than a standard groom, as Emily needs the time to work carefully and develop her techniques.
- All appointments will be fully supervised by a qualified groomer. We’re confident in Emily’s potential, but while she’s learning, the finished groom may not be quite as polished or precise as you’d expect from an experienced groomer. There may be small imperfections in the clipping or sc******ng, and owners must be happy to accept this in exchange for the discounted rate.

WHO CAN APPLY?
Both our existing clients and new customers are welcome to enquire! We’d love to give Emily the opportunity to work with a variety of coats, breeds and styles as she continues her training.
For new clients, please be aware that if your dog’s behaviour or tolerance of the grooming process makes it unsuitable for a trainee appointment, a qualified groomer may need to take over to ensure your dog’s welfare. If this happens, the full standard grooming price will apply, rather than the discounted trainee rate.
We’ll always prioritise your dog’s safety and wellbeing, and our qualified groomers will be on hand to support Emily throughout the appointment.

WANT TO HELP EMILY LEARN WHILE BAGGING YOURSELF A BARGAIN?

We’d love to hear from you! Send us a message with your dog’s breed, coat type and a little information about their usual grooming routine, and we can discuss whether they’d be suitable for one of Emily’s trainee appointments.

Your support means so much to us, and we’re excited to help Emily build her confidence and develop her skills. Thank you for being part of our journey and helping us nurture the next generation of professional dog groomers!

šŸ’šA little salon update, and some VERY exciting news! šŸ’š

Firstly, we’d like to apologise for any delays in responding to messages this week. Between time off for a dog show and staff illness, we’ve fallen a little behind on our admin. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we catch up! We believe we’re all up to date, but if you haven’t heard from us please reach out again.

However, we have some absolutely incredible news to share… our very own salon dog, Snoopy, has qualified for CRUFTS! šŸ†

We genuinely couldn’t be prouder of this boy. Behind this achievement has been a huge amount of hard work, dedication, learning and commitment, and to see it all coming together is such a special feeling.
A massive thank you to everyone who has supported our journey, followed our progress and taken the time to wish us well along the way. Every kind word, bit of encouragement and show of support means more than you know.

This is only the beginning, and we honestly can’t wait to see where this boy takes us next. The sky is the limit!

And, of course, this journey has only strengthened our passion for spaniels and their beautiful coats!

SPANIEL OWNERS — WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

If you’re interested in hand stripping, developing a breed-standard trim or simply learning more about the best way to care for your spaniel’s coat, please get in touch. We’re always happy to answer questions, discuss your dog’s individual needs and help you work towards the best possible
finish.

Drop us a message to enquire or book your spaniel’s next appointment!
Thank you for being part of our journey. Here’s to the next chapter!

We can always count on Rudy to pose for a photo shoot!

We’ve got very limited slots for the remainder of the year, please get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.

Believe it or not, there are now only 10 weeks left before we close for Christmas — and one of those weekends the salon will be closed too!

Our Christmas diary is almost fully booked, with particularly limited availability after the first week of December. We really don’t want anyone to be disappointed or left without an appointment when the festive season arrives.

Message us or call the salon today to secure your end of year appointments while availability remains!

🐾 Salon Closure Reminder 🐾

Just a little reminder that the salon will be closed a week today, Wednesday 14th October, as we’ll be heading off to a dog show!

As far as we’re aware, all appointments affected by the closure have already been rearranged, but if you believe you had an appointment booked with us that day and haven’t heard from us, please get in touch so we can double-check everything for you.

We’re looking forward to a day out at the show and will be back in the salon as normal afterwards, ready to get back to pampering your pups!

Thank you for your understanding and, as always, for keeping us so busy!

šŸŽ„ It’s only just turned October… but we’re already looking ahead to Christmas! šŸŽ„

Believe it or not, there are now only 12 Fridays and Saturdays left before we close for Christmas — and one of those weekends the salon will be closed too!

Our Christmas diary is almost fully booked, with particularly limited availability after the first week of December. We really don’t want anyone to be disappointed or left without an appointment when the festive season arrives.

If your pup needs a groom before Christmas, please don’t leave it until December to book! If you’re a regular client, now is the perfect time to check that you have your appointments secured. If you haven’t booked yet, get in touch as soon as possible and we’ll do our best to find you a suitable slot.

Message us today to secure your Christmas appointment while availability remains!

Think a double-coated dog just needs a bath and a quick dry? Think again!

For breeds like German Shepherds, deshedding isn’t an optional add-on — it’s woven into the entire grooming process.

A proper deshed starts in the bath, where the shampooing and thorough rinsing help loosen dirt, debris and dead coat from the skin and undercoat.

It continues during the drying process, when the combination of airflow and hands-on drying helps lift and remove loose coat that’s ready to come out.

And it finishes with the brushing and finishing process, where we work systematically through the coat to remove the remaining loose undercoat and make sure the coat is properly finished.

So when a double-coated dog is booked with us, we cannot simply skip the deshedding stages and offer a cheaper ā€œbath & dryā€ instead. Every stage contributes to removing the dead coat and properly caring for the skin and coat.

It’s not an extra treatment we tack onto the end — deshedding is the process. We cannot remove any step from the process.

If your double-coated dog is due a groom, get in touch to book their next appointment and let us give their coat the time and attention it deserves.

What a Weekend! ✨

We’re back from the most amazing weekend attending the World Grooming Conference and followed that up with a day at the NEC for the Pet & Animal Trade Show, and honestly, what a weekend it’s been!

So informative, inspiring and full of fantastic opportunities to learn, develop our skills and bring fresh ideas back to the salon. Seeing infamous groomers from all corners of the world, all on one stage together is certainly a sight to behold. We’re feeling incredibly motivated and excited to put everything we’ve learnt into practice!

That being said, we’re absolutely shattered and a little behind on admin after a busy few days away!

We’ll be back to normal in the salon tomorrow morning, and we’ll be working through all your messages and enquiries as quickly as possible. Thank you so much for your patience whilst we’ve been away.

We can’t wait to see all our lovely pups again and get back into the swing of things!

Today, Casey is away attending a conference, investing in some essential CPD (Continuing Professional Development) and learning new skills to bring back to the salon!

We’re firm believers that learning never stops in this industry. Staying up to date, developing our knowledge and continually improving our skills is a huge part of how we grow as a salon and ensure we’re providing the best possible care and service for your pups.

A quick reminder of this weekend’s opening hours:
• Saturday 26th September: Jessica and our lovely Saturday girls will be in as normal!
• Walk-in nail clinic will not be available

We can’t wait to share what we’ve learnt and put those new skills into practice. Thank you, as always, for supporting our continued development and helping us grow as a team.
