PUPPY PACKAGE
The Raleigh Dog Spaw has developed a puppy package based on the idea that puppies do best with proper introductions, positive exposures, and training.
​
Our puppy package is one of a kind. We are not just grooming your pup we are training your pup and using proper behavior cues and markers with high reward to initiate a task and repeat it. We spend time acclimating your pup to the salon, as well as working on desensitization tasks, sensory games and even give extra snuggles.
​
Puppies that are not allowed the opportunity to get acclimated to new things can develop behavior issues towards these "scary things"
Moving to quickly without the proper exposures and building blocks to help your puppy become acclimated to these new things can cause a fearful response and it can be difficult to regain their trust. We never recommend a full hair cut on the first visit unless there is a medical reason. We will not groom puppies that have not gone through our puppy package training service.

INTRODUCTION TO GROOMING
We have had many people show interest in the puppy package service for their adult dogs that lack confidence in the salon. We are now offering a introductory grooming service. If your dog has never been to a professional salon environment. Booking a introduction to grooming can make a world of difference for your dogs experience. Exposures are important much like socialization. Without proper exposures to new tools and environments it can make even the simplest things scary.
Think of a time you may have had to go to a new place with new people. Maybe a new job? Stress, anxiety and nerves can build up even with the most confidant people. Some dogs due best learning at a slow steady pace. Other dogs can be totally aloof to new things and super comfy. You know your pup best. We offer this service to help pups that may just need a little more trust building before jumping into the tub for a bath.
Please note this service does not include a bath or groom.
This is just a positive fear free training session in the salon.
