Background
Lhasa Apsos are my beloved breed for many years, I also showed a Maltese with some success.
Dogs are a very large part of my life, and I really enjoy spending my days grooming them, it is very
satisfying to see a clean,smart and happy dog leaving the grooming room
Because I choose to groom as my employment, I consider myself very lucky to spend my working day doing something I
really enjoy, and it is important to me that the dog enjoys his experience too.
When the dog arrives, he or she is given time to sniff around the grooming room and take a toilet break, then they are given a very thorough
brush and comb to remove any knots. If an animal is seriously matted and knotted the owner will be advised the best and kindest process
could be to clip and start fresh. Removing major knots and mats is stressful for dog and groomer and painful for the dog.
Every dog is bathed under running warm water, and shampooed with some of the finest shampoos and conditioners
available in NZ, then they are gently blow dried by hand, no cage drying here
The next stage is to clip or scissor trim the dog, whatever is appropriate for the dog and owners needs. Lastly ears are cleaned and nails trimmed.
End result another happy Dandy Dog
