a pleasant grooming salon
we are proud to bring you west Michigan’s first force free grooming at our school for dogs!
welcome to our pleasant grooming salon.
We offer both standard grooming for pets who are accustomed to being happily groomed and who do not have a history of aggression when being handled, as well as concentrated cooperative care training for those dogs who do struggle with being groomed, including nail trims, brushing, bathing, and clipping. Our team of credentialed trainers and our professional groomer, will keep your dogs looking fresh, clean, and most of all, feeling happy and confident.
Our Fear Free groomers give your dog the most comfortable, low stress grooming experience possible. We use IV San Bernard products to improve the condition of your dog’s coat. These products are cruelty free, veterinarian approved, and leave your dog’s coat feeling and looking its best.
We specialize in dogs who are afraid of the groomer. We groom one dog at a time in our force free salon, and dog parents are welcome to stay to help comfort their pets. We use lots of treats and praise to make the experience as Pleasant as it can be. We reserve the right to stop a grooming in order to maintain your dog's comfort and bill you a prorated portion of the groom cost.
does your dog have a history of growling, snarling, snapping or biting at the groomer?
We can help! Our talented team of behavior trainers work in conjunction with our grooming team to set your dog up for a life of happy grooming. Please book a behavior consultation to get started. Doing this proactively is the best way to ensure you can see a trainer as soon as possible, but you may also book this time when you come in for your initial meet and greet.
are you new to our grooming service?
Are you new to our grooming service? The first step is a 30 minute meet and greet to assess your dog’s coat and temperament to ensure we can set them for future success. We can go over your goals in that appointment and make sure everyone on your dog’s team is on the same page. This is also a great first appointment for new puppies to get used to the grooming environment! These appointments are meet and greets only. Your dog will not be groomed in this first session. These appointments involve an investment of $45.
