Wagtime aims to become the first and only professional dog grooming provider in Kolkata to integrate modern dog grooming styles with fear free animal behaviour science.
A common sight during grooming is dogs exhibiting fear, anxiety, and stress.
Fear-free grooming is a revolutionary approach to pet care that prioritises the emotional well-being of our furry friends during grooming sessions.Fear and anxiety in pets are not just emotional states; they can have profound physical and psychological effects. Anxious pets might display avoidance behaviours, become agitated, or even exhibit aggression in stressful situations. These reactions can hinder their grooming experience, affecting their emotional health and the efficiency of the grooming process.
Benefits of Fear-Free Grooming:
- Reduced Stress: Fear-free grooming drastically reduces stress and anxiety in pets, creating a more enjoyable experience for them.
- Enhanced Bonding: Positive grooming experiences strengthen the bond between pets and their owners. Grooming becomes a time of trust-building and connection.
- Improved Well-being: By alleviating stress, fear-free grooming contributes to overall pet well-being, improving mental and physical health.
- Efficiency and Safety: Calm pets are easier to groom, leading to more efficient and safer grooming sessions for both pets and groomers.
- Positive Long-term Associations: Pets that experience fear-free grooming are more likely to approach future grooming sessions with a positive attitude.
Besides grooming we offer training programmes for dogs of all ages to make grooming a stress-free experience.
