Why Choose a Behaviour-Focused Trim?

I am a professional dog trainer and fear-free/cooperative dog care is one of my passions. My goal is always to make positive new memories that shapes a dog to opts-in when they see the nail clippers. Because I use desensitisation and counter-conditioning, your dog doesn’t just “get through” the trim — their emotional response changes over time and you'll see how your dog become genuinely relaxed around nail care.
