This day marked 6 weeks in the new salon! It has flown by. I have been really enjoying the space and so have my clients! It’s interesting to see and watch everyone’s behavior. Most dogs that I thought would be anxious have been doing better than I expected. I did love being mobile. I loved the one-on-one experience. One thing I noticed is that JUST being mobile didn’t make dogs less anxious about grooming. What helps dogs the most is socializing and training paired with positive reinforcement. Mobile put a lot of pressure on myself and even though I became very good at managing it all, it became very limiting. I had to stay on top of my time, schedule and pricing. Even though I was booked out, I would get capped. I would rather be able to charge a little less, be able to give the dogs more with an open space and service more clients without killing myself in the process. Not that you have to kill yourself being mobile…. But you do have to keep your prices high and groom as much as you can to cover the cost, time and energy it takes to make mobile possible.

What’s great about the grooming industry is that you can fit your business to meet your personal needs. When I started mobile 5 years ago, I hated the thought of being stuck in one place all day. I enjoyed traveling around town, meeting new people and places, them opening their homes to me and treating me like family. Now that I’m older with my own family to take care of, I LOVE the thought of being cozy in my own space, where my friends and family can come by to see me from time to time.

Whether you’re a high volume salon, low volume, one-on-one, mobile, house call, you will always find your clients that you appreciate and the clients that will appreciate you! Everyone has their own uniqueness to bring the table and none of it is wrong, as long as you’re keeping yourself and your clients safe and happy. Everyday I think about how blessed I am to have curated a safe and happy place for myself and the dogs in my care 🐾

Buttercup! 💎✨🎃
We have a new cousin pup in the family! This was her first salon experience. A few things we did to make her more comfortable:
- Let her freely explore and sniff the new area. We praised her exploring around the grooming/tub areas on her own.
- Showed her where she was aloud to sniff and potty, then praised her for going.
- Buttercup loves other dogs, so we let her meet and socialize with her new cousins.
- Then, we practiced going on/off the table and in/out of the tub for treats with her new cousins. Seeing other dogs being confident in these actions helped show her it’s safe.
- We know Buttercup can be afraid of unfamiliar noises. We paired her bath with her cousin Izzy, who doesn’t mind the bath/blow dryer. New things can be less scary when you have a confident buddy to learn from.
- We kept the bath and blow dry as minimal as possible while checking in with her and pairing with treats.
- We aloud her to exit the tub on her own accord for treats and onto the table for her picture.
- Since we previously practiced going on/off the table for treats, she was ready to do it again for her after picture!
- Because Buttercup is highly sociable and food motivated, this is what worked best for her! Each dog’s experience is curated to fit their own needs and preferences.
She had a great first visit! 🐾

We got to see cute Olivia again, because he decided to roll in something dead outside 😂
We are always here to provide emergency baths for our regular clients. Whether it’s because they’re stinky, having a skin flare up, unexpected matting or company coming over, don’t be afraid to reach out!
