Don’t Forget — The Pamper Brush Reward

As part of my dog-walking service, your Loyalty Card includes a “pamper brush session” as a reward. After their walk, your dog can enjoy a gentle brush-out to help maintain their coat between grooming appointments. If you book a walk with me to get started earning rewards!

Building Good Grooming Habits

If your dog’s coat needs a lot of maintenance (woolly, long, curly, or double coats especially), regular brushing and handling make all the difference. It’s best to start early — and not just rely on breeder advice. Doing a bit of your own research and working with a groomer from the start helps your dog learn to relax during grooming sessions.
