Puppy Socialisation Package
Working with puppies and their owners is a passion of mine as it's such an exciting time for owners and it's so rewarding seeing puppies grow into well-rounded, beautiful dogs that love coming to the salon for their grooms!
With this package, I like to work with puppies and their owners and provide a bespoke service giving feedback after each session to see what we can work on at home and within the salon.
Depending on your dog’s coat type you will take home a free slicker brush and metal comb or a rubber de-shedding brush.
Slow and steady socialising is key, therefore I recommend smaller, more frequent visits to introduce them to the process in a fun and positive way!
The ideal window of opportunity for socialisation is between 3-16 weeks of age and for this reason, I would suggest starting the package as soon as possible once your puppy is fully vaccinated and ideally no later than 6 months of age. For many breeds they will need to be groomed as often as every 6 weeks so it's important to introduce this as early as possible.
There is a misconception that puppies cannot be groomed until they are a certain age or before they have their adult coat, but there are a number of reasons this is an unhealthy myth. Some breeders even shave the faces and feet of their puppies before sending them off to their new homes.
When your puppy is in the salon they will spend some time on the table being groomed, but they will also spend some very important time on the floor interacting with the salon environment and generally having time to explore on their own terms so that when they come to the salon they feel relaxed and familiar with their surroundings.
On the first visit, we will spend roughly 30-45 minutes together assessing your puppy's grooming requirements, answering any questions about the grooming process and performing a brush demo on your puppy using the equipment you will take home. This is also a great opportunity for your puppy and myself to get acquainted before they are left for their sessions.
The package can be carried out weekly, fortnightly or triweekly depending on your preference and is payable on the first visit.
This is a flexible process and we can move things around. For example, if your puppy has found something smelly to roll in but your bath isn’t due for a couple of weeks, we can bring this forward or even add an additional bath for a small cost. For short coated breeds that don’t require clipping or scissoring, it will be a similar setup as the below but you will receive three baths over the course of the package.
