Pups & Brushes: Grooming 101

Setting your pup up for a lifetime of spawesome experiences starts with a gentle introduction to grooming! These short sessions involves making them comfortable with being touched, brushed, and having their paws, ears and mouth handled. We'll use positive reinforcement with treats and praise to create a calm and happy association with grooming. It'll be a fun first step towards keeping your furry friend healthy and looking their best! In addition, we have lots of useful resources and information to help your pup reach their full potential.

Taking the Edge Off: Intro to Grooming for Nervous Dogs

Does bath time turn your pup into a shivering mess? This session is aimed on desensitising your furry friend to grooming, making it a positive and relaxing experience. - Introduce grooming tools gently, letting your dog sniff and get comfortable. - Turn brushing into a bonding session with praise and treats. - Desensitize your dog to sounds like clippers and dryers with gradual exposure. - Create a calm and positive atmosphere for a stress-free grooming routine.

I can’t say enough great things about The Wag and the amazing job they did with my dog, Charlie! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and I could tell right away that Charlie was in good hands. The team at The Wag showed so much care and attention to detail, and Charlie always looks absolutely fantastic after every grooming session. Her coat has never been shinier, and she’s always so happy and relaxed after her visit. The groomers take the time to listen to my requests and always exceed expectations. I feel confident knowing Charlie is getting the best care, and I highly recommend The Wag to anyone looking for professional, loving, and reliable grooming services. 10/10
Judith: Dog mom

So happy with the service. My doggie came back super clean and happy. He even got a puppucino which he loved. Would highly recommend The Wag to anyone.

Sasha hates bathing, so it is great to know our tiny fur baby is treated with love and kindness at The Wag. Will be back.
Steve: Proud Dog Owner

We took our two Australian Shepherds, Memphis and Nashville for grooming. They are both busy boys with difficult coats. But the team at The Wag was patient and caring with them, they were happy when we got back and looked very dapper. Highly recommended.
Tanya: Happy Customer

Amazing! Can’t imaging taking my Jasmine and place else! Got exactly what i asked for and she had the best time too, she was so relaxed and happy afterwards. 10/10 would recommend to anyone! Prices are very good too
Hannah: Satisfied Customer

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with The Wag. From the moment we walked in, my dog, Cooper, was treated like one of their own, making sure he felt completely comfortable and at ease. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they work with. Cooper’s groom was also perfect! It’s so comforting to know that he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend!
