Puppy Programme

This programme isn’t about a haircut.

It’s about how your puppy feels.

Grooming introduces new places, new people, unusual sounds, unfamiliar equipment and close handling. When introduced gradually and positively, most puppies learn that grooming is simply part of normal life.

This structured four-session programme builds confidence step by step, allowing puppies to explore the salon environment at their own pace while developing tolerance to brushing, bathing, drying and gentle styling.

The aim is long-term comfort, not rushing the process.

Guardians are welcome to stay during the early sessions to support a smooth transition.

The Programme

Session 1 – Introduction & Exploration
Calm introduction to the salon, handling and positive association building.

Session 2 – Handling & Equipment Familiarisation
Gentle brushing, combing and introduction to tools and sounds.

Session 3 – Bath & Dry Progression
Gradual introduction to bathing and drying, adjusted to the puppy’s confidence level.

Session 4 – Graduation Groom
Full bath and dry, face and feet tidy, light shaping if appropriate, and a graduation photo.

Home-Based Option

For puppies who may initially cope better in their own environment, a home-based version of the programme is available.

While the salon experience helps prepare puppies for new places and sounds, some families prefer to begin confidence-building at home before transitioning to salon sessions.

Home programmes follow the same structured approach, with pricing adjusted to reflect travel.

Investment
