Our conditioning program is created to untrain your dog’s brain and help change their perspective. Once your dog has decided that grooming is a negative experience it is important that we stop and address these feelings.

Regaining the trust your dog has lost is the first step in our program. We not only validate your dog’s fears but also give them the ability to face and work through what they fear most. Doing this through a series of weekly 30-50 minute sessions is a careful but consistent approach that creates the ultimate confidence in your pup. Our sessions are a combination of relationship building, encouragement, rewards, structure, and boundaries. These are all the ingredients necessary for success, and how much of each is required will be dependent on your dog and what their specific needs are. 

• Grooming Program — 4 sessions, $1,250–$1,550
  Fifty-minute sessions for dogs who struggle with the grooming process; price depends on behavior and type of groom.
• Grooming & Nails Package — 6 sessions, $1,650–$1,950
  Four fifty-minute sessions and two half-hour sessions for dogs who struggle with both grooming and major nail issues.

Please note:

• In order for us to continue to be able to help the dogs and families like you who need us most, we are unable to keep every grooming client who goes through our program. Unless your dog has true human aggression we will likely be working towards transitioning them to another groomer who we work closely with that shares our style and values. 
• Dogs with a history of serious aggression or biting may require an additional surcharge due to the increased risk and specialized handling. We’ll discuss any specifics once we’ve met your dog and assessed their needs.
