Post to self - Baby Steps

 Baby Steps 

Echo as baby shark before she had a name #greengirl


Baby steps have to start somewhere. I have been so nervous and frankly terrified to put myself out there and really get going on my career. I am going to be using my weekends to intern and shadow an experienced groomer and in the meantime, I need to get my own butt in gear. 


While up in my area I have decided to dial back the services that I provide. I hope that this will give me a good balance of hands on experience without any unnecessary stress. At this point in the beginning of my career I am on paper a dog groomer but experience wise I feel more like a glorified dog bather. So until I have more practice and confidence, I am going to believe in this method until it works!


I will be updating my policies and probably scrapping my grooming menu for the moment. I created it for a dog daycare anyway so it is best. I will be adding a new one shortly which will only include baths, nail trims and minor trimming services. 


Let's do this!

The Decompression Period - Bringing home a new friend!

Image
 Good afternoon and happy Friday! I have another important topic to dive into today. Today I will be discussing decompression with a new dog that you've brought into or want to bring to your life. I will be defining decompression in dogs as well as giving you tips from several sources for how to make your new dog's transition into your life easier.  Decompression is an acclimation period for your new companion. Every dog needs a little time to adjust to their new surroundings. While the average decompression time is about two weeks, every dog is unique and may take a longer or shorter time to decompress into their new home. Be aware that while puppies from a breeder need time to decompress, rescue or shelter dogs who have had a more tumultuous time may take months to fully decompress into their new life. In a blog titled Cuddly, rescuers commonly refer to a process called the rule of threes or the 3-3-3 rule. This process illustrates the decompression process and how it will o...
