A frightened dog isn’t being difficult. They’re telling you something. Our job is to listen, slow down and make the next visit easier than the last.

Our approach

One dog in the room, no crate stacks, no cage dryers and no rush. Some first visits are just twenty minutes of treats on the table. That’s a win.

What helps at home

Practise handling feet and ears daily, and make car rides lead to good things. Tell us everything when you book. The more we know, the better we can plan.

Five free minutes

Not sure what your dog’s coat needs? Bring them by.
