Puppy Grooming Desensitization
Preparing your puppy for a lifelong journey of regular visits to the groomer, so their visit are more confident, comfortable, safe, and affordable.
Prices & Policies
Introduction to Grooming Session: $35
A short, low-pressure visit for puppies and pet parents to meet the space, the table, the brush, and the dryer. Pet parents receive homework booklets and pre-session assignments.
Grooming Confidence Package (4 sessions): $220
Four progressive sessions that build from handling and brushing to a gentle bath, the dryer, nail care, and sanitary trimming. Save per session compared to booking individually. Puppies are dropped off for 1hr per session.
First Full Groom: Starting at $75
Bath, blow-dry, brush-out, nail trim, and a full haircut, for puppies who've completed intro sessions or are already comfortable. Only available after a complete intro session.
Most puppies are ready to graduate our Puppy Grooming Desensitization program after five sessions, booked 2-3 weeks apart.
Every pup learns at their own speed, so some may need an extra visit or two. Grooming graduation ceremonies are held every three months, where your puppy will receive a certificate of completion! Share it with future groomers, vets, daycares, and trainers to show your pup has had positive, gentle first grooming experiences and knows how to stay calm on the table.
Prices and services are for puppies and dogs 20lbs or less. Heavily matted or very long coats may have an additional fee, which we'll discuss before starting.
“Nemo did such a good job with my puppy and gave me some great tips on how to get my pup ready for future grooming. You could tell my little girl felt great after leaving! We are very please with our first grooming experience ever and made sure to make a new appointment before we left!”
