Spa Programs

Spa programs replace essentials appointments for pets with special needs

  • The Pawsitive Puppy

    $65-75 per .5 hour

    Grooming requires handling on a different level from what a puppy experiences in everyday life. The Pawsitive Puppy program starts at 3-6 months of age to help your puppy get comfortable with the grooming experience and become a well-versed spa dog. We start with an introductory evaluation and continue with 6 appointments scheduled bi-weekly to monthly, with a progress report and homework at each appointment.

  • The Sensitive Senior

    $75 per .5 hour

    As dogs age they become more achy, their joints have more limitation, they may be more prone to stress, and they usually have trouble standing for longer periods of time; just like us! The Sensitive Senior program is designed with their limitations and comfort in mind, and may include breaks or splitting appointments into multiple visits, depending on your dog's needs.

    Introductory evaluation followed by 3 appointments at regular intervals, with a progress report at each appointment.

  • Touchy Toes

    $37 per visit

    For pets who have anxiety for toenail trimming we use our desensitization and rehabilitation techniques to help them overcome their fears and become confident with their nail appointments.

  • Rehabilitation

    $100 per .5 hour

    When a dog's anxiety level is at the top end of the scale and they are likely to react in an intense or aggressive way, or when their actions could lead to injuring themselves or the groomer, we require a rehabilitation program.

    Rehabilitation is only done by qualified stylists with at least 5 years of grooming experience and 1 year of training in Pawsitivity handling standards, with continuing education in dog behavior and rehabilitation techniques. Appointment frequency and length are determined by the stylist, with a required 6-month commitment to start.

  • Desensitization

    $75 per .5 hour

    A customized program to assist dogs 6+ months old in becoming comfortable with the grooming experience. We work on building a trusting relationship with your dog, and gradually increasing their tolerance for the parts of grooming they are uncomfortable with. Starting with monthly appointments for a 6-month period, we graduate them from this program when they are comfortable with all aspects of grooming, or when they reach a remediation level that the owner, pet, and stylist agree on.

  • Remediation

    $75 per .5

    For pets who have reached a level of desensitization or rehabilitation that the owner, pet, and stylist have agreed upon, to maintain progress.
