More About Our unique
Salon and
Grooming Services
A grooming experience at The Classic Canine is more than just a "shave and a haircut"!
Our parent company, Canine Behavioral Services Inc. is owned and operated by a successful Canine Behavior Trainer with over 20 years of experience. Because of this, everything we do with dogs in our care, from the moment we meet them to the time we send them back home, EVERY interaction with your dog is handled with two main things in mind:
Safety
We will first and foremost ensure that your dog feels SAFE in this environment
Behavior
We will always promote calm, positive behaviors while helping your dog decrease the severity & frequency of any undesirable feelings and/or behaviors
We know that a trip to the Groomer can be a bit stressful for some dogs. Whether it's due to a bad past experience, or just a lack of ample positive exposure to grooming situations, we understand that some dogs may have a little trouble with their beauty day.
Sending your dog to the "behaviorist" for beauty day can be incredibly rewarding!
Considering this, we take a very unique approach putting the dog's safety and well-being ahead of the need to "produce" a beautiful hair-cut...especially for first-time grooming guests who may be new to our environment.
If we determine that your pet is becoming too stressed or uncomfortable with any part of our grooming process, we will take the necessary steps to ensure what could be a negative encounter for your pet is confidently and expertly turned into a positive experience.
If this means we must stop the groom for the day...or just take more time with that specific procedure, we're going to put your pet's best interest ahead of everything else.
If we have to stop grooming because a dog is becoming too stressed, some or all of the grooming fees will still apply. We will do everything we can to accomplish all goals but will always put your pet's safety and well-being above all else.
“Before you get a dog, you can’t quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can’t imagine living any other way”
Caroline Knapp
