Congratulations to this special boy, Sammich! Sammich and I had been working together since December 2025(6 appointments total) and he has come such a long way. Trust, effort, supportive parents, and love are what made it happen to help him graduate from rehabilitation grooming! He went from being a danger to him and I with his fear and anxiety, to acceptance and full trust in me. The focus we worked to correct was ear plucking and cleaning; An essential part of keeping healthy ears for some breeds with hairy ears. He had such anxiety of having his ears cleaned let alone plucked of any hair that was congesting his ear canal. The moment I would flip the leather of his ear over, his energy went from 0-1000 in a second. After several sessions and lots of practice with each grooming session, we finally made it to the day where we have accomplished fully plucked and cleaned ears! I am SO PROUD of him and I am so grateful for the opportunity to help him work past his fears to create a more calm and accepted grooming experience. Way to go, SAMMICH! ππ
