The experiences your puppy has during their first three months of life will permanently shape their future personality. This is a crucial time for a puppy and they should be gently exposed to as many of the sights, sounds, and experiences that you expect them to encounter regularly as possible, and, for every puppy, that includes bath time!

Every dog should experience grooming as a regular part of their lives (especially the dreaded nail trim), but, if you start them off early and gently, grooming doesn’t need to be a stressful experience. Many of them even enjoy it!

The key to puppy socialization is repetition. That’s why we created the RIGHT START PUPPY GROOMING PROGRAM. With our program, your puppy will get a gentle introduction to everything they’ll need to know to have a lifetime of stress-free grooming, in the comfort and safety of home.

Program

Our RIGHT START PUPPY GROOMING PROGRAM acts as an extension of Puppy Kindergarten classes. Over the course of 4, 6, or 8 weekly appointments, we’ll provide repeated, gentle introductions and desensitization to all the processes and tools your puppy may encounter during grooming, including the dreaded nail trimming and teeth brushing.

Includes:

  • A customized program, designed with your puppy’s coat type and personality in mind

  • Bath and Gentle Blow Dry

  • Brushing

  • Nail Trimming and Filing

  • Teeth Brushing

  • Ear Cleaning

  • Sanitary trim and light trimming in other areas, if applicable

  • Progress reports on your puppy’s experience throughout the program

  • A customized coat care program for your puppy as they grow, including tips and tricks that you can do at home to keep your pup in tip-top shape between appointments

Benefits

Safety

So many puppies miss out on grooming exposure during the Critical Socialization Period because it’s dangerous for young puppies, who are not yet fully vaccinated, to visit traditional grooming salons. With our service, your new puppy can get a salon experience without their precious little paws ever touching the ground.

Less stress (for you and your puppy!)

Your puppy will learn valuable lessons that they will use for the rest of their life - for instance, they’ll learn that they won’t melt like the Wicked Witch of the West if water touches them. Wouldn’t you love to have a dog that was easy to give an impromptu bath when they inevitably get into something you’d rather they not smell like?

A puppy you can be proud of

You’ll never need to have the “He’s great, except…” conversation with a new dog groomer. Instead, you can confidently answer “He’s great!” because you know your dog knows what he’s doing when it’s time for grooming.
