Grooming Rehab Program
There are some pets, particularly rescues that may be new to the grooming process and are simply not used to being groomed. For these special clients, I offer a program that helps them to get more comfortable and used to the grooming process. The program is tailored to your baby's specific needs. I charge an hourly rate starting at $55 per hour if you pet is mat free.
Usually, after 4-6 appointments, you will notice your baby being more relaxed and comfortable during the grooming process because they know they are in loving and caring hands.
Testimonials:
"My dogs Gale and Scarlet have always been the biggest challenge when it comes to grooming – especially nail trimming. Gale unfortunately has had past trauma at other groomers clipping her quick and Scarlet comes from a rescue with a lot of trauma so she is always nervous of new things, trimmers included. For a long time, I tried trimming their nails myself but there were many unsuccessful attempts and I did not want to continue to make things more fearful for my dogs. That’s when I found Maha who has been the biggest blessing for our family.
Maha is WONDERFUL! She is so professional, caring and helpful. She is patient with the dogs (even when they don’t want to cooperate) and honestly, so comforting for both them and I. In a way, she’s made me a better dog owner through this experience and has already shared such amazing insight with me on how to approach dogs who have fear and anxieties. Her grooming rehab program is so effective too and I can’t see myself going anywhere else for grooming now.
My pups absolutely adore Maha! And she truly truly has been a life saver for our family. My dogs nails were always so long because of their fear and now, they have little to no fear at all when it comes to touching their paws and trimming their nails thanks to Maha’s help. She is calm, she is encouraging (for the pups AND ME) and she approaches grooming rehab with great efficiency and care. Within just a few visits, you could see such a big difference not only in my dog’s comfort level but also their overall confidence. Plus – they get so excited every time Maha comes by.
I am BEYOND SATISFIED! Honestly I’m grateful for it. I was really nervous I would never get a handle on my dogs nails and that their confidence would never recover. But it’s like they’re different, way happier dogs now. I’m so thankful for Maha and all that she has done for us. I highly recommend the grooming rehab experience for any dogs who struggle with grooms or nail trims. It has even helped with things outside of grooming. Gale and Scarlet are so much less scared of other new things around the house and much more confident in everything they do."

"My pup, momo, was apprehensive with grooming, would not allow us to blow dry or trim his nails. He was hesitating with scissors and shears too. Outside of being able to bathe him I was unable to properly cut his fur. He is very anxious and reactive to other dogs so taking him to a salon was out of the question.
Maha to the rescue! I’m able to touch my pups feet and blow dry him without worries. He is so much better and definitely tolerates the grooming experience. She worked with Momo to get him used to all the materials and when he had a set back with the blow dryer she would come specifically to work on blow drying and get him comfortable again. Thanks to Maha, grooming isn’t a nightmare anymore!"

"Our pups were rescues which had never been socialized when we adopted them at 1 ½ yrs old. They came with a lot of fear/anxiety issues – expressed mostly through constant barking at people and other dogs. They were also extremely fearful of unfamiliar sounds. We knew they would not be able to go to a grooming facility or a mobile grooming van.
​
My overall experience with Maha was wonderful. Maha has a unique gift in working with fearful and anxious dogs and winning their trust. It definitely takes time and the owner must be patient and trust Maha’s judgement. She has a very calming way of speaking to the dogs and helping lessen their anxiety.
​
My pups overall experience with Maha was amazing. Before the end of the program, they loved when she arrived and allowed her to groom them without any resistance or anxiety.
I am 100% satisfied and would highly recommend Maha to anyone who has a rescue dog with behavioral issues. We weren’t sure if our dogs would ever let anyone groom them or clip their nails, but Maha won them over completely. Also, having her come to the home and work with them inside the home was the best possible situation. We will continue to have her take care of our dogs’ grooming needs."
