I understand that your puppy’s very first grooming experience can feel a little daunting — for both you and your pup.
My aim is to make every first visit a calm, gentle, and positive introduction to grooming, helping your puppy grow into a happy, confident, and relaxed salon visitor for years to come.
EMOTIONAL CARE
I work slowly and gently, allowing puppies time to settle, explore their surroundings, sniff the equipment, and take breaks whenever needed — with plenty of cuddles and reassurance along the way.
PUPPY INTRO PACKAGE
By building trust and creating a peaceful one-to-one experience, your puppy can begin to feel safe, comfortable, and confident with
the grooming process from the very beginning.

At Cockapoo Cottage & Friends, I offer a carefully designed puppy introduction package, created to make your puppy’s first
grooming experience as positive and stress-free as possible.
While bringing your puppy for their first groom is an exciting milestone, a little preparation at home can make a huge difference in helping them feel relaxed and confident during their visit.
When we first bring home a puppy, we naturally focus on basic training such as sit, stay, and recall. However, preparing your puppy to feel comfortable being handled, brushed, bathed, and having their paws touched is just as important — especially for breeds that require regular grooming throughout their lives.
Like people, every dog has their own personality. Some puppies immediately love being pampered, while others may need a little more patience, reassurance, and time to build confidence. My role is to make grooming a positive and enjoyable experience, never rushed or overwhelming.
With gentle handling, kindness, and calm one-to-one care, I help puppies build trust and confidence so they can learn that grooming is a safe, happy, and rewarding experience.



When was the last time your dog had a deep dental clean to help remove harmful bacteria from their mouth?
Are you concerned about bad breath, plaque build-up, or the thought of your dog needing a dental procedure under anaesthetic at the vets?
At Cockapoo Cottage & Friends, I offer the Cleaner Teeth Ultrasound Dental Program — a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to support your dog’s oral health in a calm and stress-free environment.
Regular dental cleaning is one of the most effective ways to help prevent dental disease and maintain healthy teeth and gums for your canine companion.
Did You Know? Approximately 80% of dogs over the age of 3 show signs of dental disease.
Regular grooming helps keep your dog’s skin, coat, ears, nails, and teeth healthy.
Groomers can spot early signs of issues like skin infections, lumps, fleas, ear problems, or dental buildup before they become serious.
Matted fur, overgrown nails, dirty ears, and excess shedding can make dogs uncomfortable or even painful.
Grooming keeps them clean, comfortable, cooler in warm weather, and feeling their best.
A professional groomer has the tools, training, and experience to safely handle bathing, coat trimming, nail clipping, deshedding, and styling.
Your dog not only looks amazing but also smells fresh and feels relaxed after a proper groom.
