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 over the period of a month 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. 

• Our program is between $550-$650 plus tax depending on breed, size, coat, and behaviours. In order for us to have the flexibility we need to assess your dog’s needs and the cost involved, we require $250 to be paid at your first appointment and the remainder to be paid once your dog has completed the program. We also require all 4 sessions to be booked in advance before we begin.
• 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.
