The Delightful Dogs Grooming Salon is proud to offer a one-on-one pet grooming program for all sizes and breed of dog.  Owner, Sylvia Gottschalk, CTB.ccs believes it is not only important to offer a quality groom, but to also have an understanding of canine body language and behaviour.  With her certification as a dog trainer and behaviour therapist with years of experience in the field, she realized dogs sometimes had fears that would affect their grooming experience and as result, behaviour problems would develop. 

She created the grooming salon with a specific image in mind; to combine her training and behaviour background with her pet grooming knowledge.  Her goal is to help dogs by taking the time necessary to gently guide and desensitize them through the grooming process.  Her program is designed to prevent fear or rehabilitate an existing phobia and make the experience pleasant, enjoyable and stress-free.

All appointments are pre-scheduled and one-on-one based to ensure your dog's personal needs are met.  We do not accept drop-in appointments, and we do not overlap dogs to ensure your dog will not sit in a crate all day waiting to be groomed or picked up.  Sylvia's priorities are the temperament, safety and well being of your dog while making them smell clean and look 'Delightful'. 

Sylvia looks forward to working with you and your dog.

Here's What Our Clients Say

Hi,

I am a Peek-A-Poo that had a very bad experience with my first training session and my first grooming. But alas my dad, Moe found out about Delightful Dogs, and my world has changed, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I was judged most improved in my training class, and both dad and I learned a lot. My latest grooming experience has been the best ever. My groomer, treated me with nothing but kindness. The last time I was groomed it was the first time without medication, and we did surprisingly well. I am really glad that Delightful Dogs does not believe medication is necessary and was able to make me feel better without it.

I know I am well loved by both my dad and mom, as well all the staff at Delightful Dogs. I enjoy the doggie daycare there as well which is a special treat. I know that soon I will be able to look forward to grooming every time without medication, and I will be great for everyone.

From Nicky and my Dad Moe

 

Hi Sylvia!

Thanks so much again - I think Zeus is quite proud of his new 'do. Both Graeme's and my roommates think he looks cute and happy with the hair out of his face -- and they think he is quite a bit more speedy and light on his feet! He's been a bit sleepy this afternoon/evening - he fell right asleep in my lap, arms, and all over the place since we came home.

I am very glad we got to see what all goes on in the grooming process - I've never even known a groomer to offer that opportunity before, so thank you so much! It's definitely reassuring for both the owners and the dog. I'm also soooo relieved Zeus wasn't too hard to deal with, that was probably my biggest concern. Hopefully he can get used to the drying process, and both Graeme and I will certainly try to help out with that!

Anyway, just wanted to get these pictures to you ASAP and pass our thanks along again. Hope all is well with you and your pups :) (and the rest of the family, of course!)

Lauren, Graeme, and Zeus (Shi-Poo)
