Each dog breed has its own morphological, biological and aesthetic standard, and has its own coat. This implies different working methods with cosmetics and tools specific to the genetics of each breed. It is thanks to the Zoocosmetology ZAP certification and the practical training of the shedding reduction programs that you will learn to meet the real needs of each type of fur.
Grooming is an art that is practiced with love and creativity. It also consists of adapted body hygiene and tailored therapeutic care and must respect the standards of each breed. We practice and teach behavioral dogs and cats grooming in a zen environment in order to reduce all forms of stress to a minimum. We offer education based on the scientific laws of learning, positive reinforcement, creative and adaptive methods in mastering the art of grooming.
During grooming sessions, we work in a spirit of motivation and we advocate systematic desensitization, counter-conditioning and environmental enrichment. What makes us special is that our training and grooming techniques are based on positive reinforcement, the real one. You will learn to better manage grooming situations in multiple circumstances with a methodology based on the laws of learning and behavioural science.
Our work methodology aims at reducing restraints and eliminating negative interactions while decreasing the animal's stress. All of our interventions, which are as non-intrusive as possible, are aimed at gaining the animal's trust through positive interactions and the opportunity to make choices. We encourage our students to work on themselves to develop compassionate and connected skills with each anima
We genuinely consider animals to be living, conscious, sensitive beings.
We aspire to compassion towards ourselves, the animal and its human family.
We pass on the knowledge we receive to our colleagues through seminars, conferences, private or semi-private coaching throughout Quebec.
We do not hold the truth. Our practices are based on many years of experimentation and we continue our education in related fields in order to gain new perspectives and refine our toolbox.
We learn thanks to you, our four-legged friends, our clients, colleagues, and friends, and for this we are deeply grateful!
