💜💙🎃 Boogs’ Halloween makeover is officially UNDERWAY!! 👀🤣

We’re adding a little color to this big fluffy boy, but what could he possibly be turning into?! 👻

🚨 GOOD MORNING FROM THE DAPPER DOG! 🚨🤣

Everybody say good morning to this innocent-looking face. 🥹❤️

DON’T LET THE FACE FOOL YOU. THIS BOY IS A MENACE. 😂

As Boogie Woogie enters his teenage era, he has apparently decided that personal space is a suggestion and violence is a love language. 😑🤣

How does he tell me he wants to play, you ask?

HE NIPS ME RIGHT IN THE BUTT CHEEK. 🍑🙂
I AM NOT KIDDING. THIS BOY STRAIGHT UP BITES MY ASS AND THEN TAKES OFF RUNNING ZOOMIES LIKE HE JUST PULLED OFF THE HEIST OF THE CENTURY. 😭🤣

And the WORST PART?! When I turn around to look at him, I SWEAR he's LAUGHING AT ME. THE AUDACITY. THE DISRESPECT. THE ABSOLUTE LACK OF A JOB. 😭😂

Meanwhile, I'm standing here trying to run a professional grooming salon, and my own dog is out here treating me like a chew toy. 🤦‍♀️🤣

So if anybody needs me, I'll be in the back negotiating a peace treaty with a fluffy teenage terrorist. 🫠😂

SEND HELP. OR TREATS. ACTUALLY, SEND BOTH. 🤣🤣🤣

🐾❤️ A little scheduling update for everyone! ❤️🐾

October is officially FULL, and November is almost booked up too! 🥰 I only have 4 appointments left for November, and only ONE of those spots is for a large dog! 🐶

I know nobody wants to think about Christmas just yet 😂🎄, but it always sneaks up on us faster than we expect!

If you want your babies fresh and clean for the holidays, please book your Christmas appointments ahead of time! I would hate for anyone to miss out because my books are full. ❤️

Thank you all so much for keeping The Dapper Dog busy and for trusting me with your sweet pups! I appreciate every single one of you more than you know! 🐶🥹💕

🐾 A little Dapper Dog update! 🐾

Over the last few days, I’ve had several new faces come through the salon, and it’s reminded me just how important it is to make sure every dog is the right fit for the Dapper Dog environment.

Because Dapper Dog is a one-on-one, low-stress salon, I’m making a small change to how I accept new clients.

If your dog has been a longstanding client of another salon, I’ll now require an evaluation/meet & greet before booking a full groom.

This isn't about judging where your dog has been groomed before. Every groomer has a different style, every salon has a different environment, and not every dog is the right fit for every groomer. And that's okay. ❤️

Maintaining a low-stress environment is one of my biggest priorities, not just for your dog, but for me too. I genuinely love what I do, and I want to protect that.

I have no problem working with anxious dogs, nervous dogs, or dogs with behavioral challenges. Some of my favorite dogs have needed extra patience, extra time, and a little more understanding.

But there is a standard of behavior at Dapper Dog. Your dog doesn't have to be perfect, but they do need to be reasonably safe and manageable in a one-on-one grooming environment.

If your dog needs extra breaks, additional handling time, a slower introduction, or simply more time to complete their groom, I am absolutely willing to work with that.

That allows me to schedule the appropriate amount of time, prepare for your dog's needs, and make sure neither of us is being rushed or pushed past our limits.

At the end of the day, my goal is simple: a safe, calm and positive experience for your dog AND for me.

Sometimes that means Dapper Dog will be the perfect fit. Sometimes it may mean another groomer is a better fit for your dog, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. ❤️

🐶✂️ WHY DOES YOUR GROOMER KEEP TELLING YOU TO COME BACK EVERY 4–6 WEEKS?!

Nope, we aren't just trying to keep your dog on our schedule. 😂 There is actually science behind regular grooming!

One of the things I've been learning more about is canine skin keratinization, basically your dog's skin is constantly making new cells, those cells move toward the surface, become keratinized, and eventually shed.

Research has found that the viable layers of a healthy dog's epidermis renew in roughly 21–23 days. 🧬🐕

That doesn't mean your dog magically becomes “dirty” on day 21 😂 and it doesn't mean every dog requires the exact same grooming schedule.

BUT it does help explain why regular skin and coat maintenance makes sense.

Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins, MA, ICMG, PGC, CCE (one of the educators whose work has really influenced how I think about grooming) teaches that routine grooming is preventative care for the skin and coat, not simply making a dog look pretty.

And I LOVE that distinction.

Regular grooming gives us an opportunity to:
🛁 Clean away dirt, debris and accumulated oils
🧴 Condition and support the skin and coat
🪮 Remove loose/dead coat and prevent developing tangles
🔎 Look closely at the skin for changes or abnormalities
🐾 Keep nails and ears maintained
❤️ Catch little problems before they become BIG problems
✂️ Keep the coat manageable and comfortable between appointments

And here's the important part:

Not every dog needs the exact same schedule.

A Yorkie, Golden Retriever, Great Pyrenees, Poodle, doodle and Lab don't have the same coat or the same maintenance requirements. Coat type, haircut, lifestyle, skin health and what happens at home between appointments all matter.

That's why when I recommend 4, 6, or 8 weeks, I'm not pulling a number out of a hat. 😉

I'm looking at YOUR dog's coat, skin, lifestyle and maintenance needs.

Grooming isn't just vanity.
It's maintenance.
It's prevention.
It's skin and coat care.
And sometimes it's how we notice that something isn't quite right.

📚 A huge thank-you to Jennifer Bishop-Jenkins for putting so much education into the grooming industry and encouraging groomers to understand the why behind what we do.

And because I know somebody is going to ask 😂 YES, I can absolutely do a whole post about what actually happens to the skin and coat when you stretch those grooming appointments from 4 → 6 → 8+ weeks. 👀

Drop your Halloween color/design ideas in the comments because I need to know what everyone else is imagining for my giant fluffy guinea pig. 😂😂

Bonus points for ideas that are cute, spooky, or completely unhinged. 🎃🐾
