Pricing

We price grooming by the dog category because coat type, size, and handling time drive the work. The starting point is $50 — and we’ll always confirm the category before the appointment.

CATEGORY 1

Small / Short Coat

$50+

Starting point for quick dry times and low coat maintenance. Ideal for dogs that tolerate handling calmly.

Examples: smooth coat small breeds, short coat mixes
CATEGORY 2

$65+

More time for brushing, drying, and a clean finish that prevents mats. Priced for coat length and detail work.

Examples: long/silky small & medium breeds

Curly / Doodle Coat

$85+

Curly coats take longer to wash through, dry fully, brush out, and finish evenly. Priced for time + technique.

Examples: doodles, poodle mixes, curly coats

$90+

Extra wash-through, blowout time, and coat management. Priced for drying time + undercoat removal.

Examples: heavy shedders, thick undercoats
CATEGORY 5

Large Breed Groom

$105+

Larger dogs require more time for washing, drying, and safe handling. Priced for size + appointment duration.

Examples: large breeds and large mixes

$130+

Giant breeds are longer appointments with safety-first handling and extended drying time. Priced for scope of work.

Examples: giant breeds and extra-large mixes

Pricing notes

We keep categories simple, and we keep dogs safe. If extra time is required, we’ll explain why before we proceed.

MATTING / TANGLES
Heavy matting requires extra time and may change the groom plan for comfort and safety.
RESCUE COAT RESET
If the coat needs a full reset, we’ll recommend the most humane path (and a plan going forward).
HANDLING TIME
Some dogs need slower pacing. Comfort-first handling may require extra appointment time.

Training pricing

Training is structured in clear programs. Most programs run 12–16 weeks depending on the dog.

PROGRAM 1

Puppy Raising

Ages 10–16 weeks. We build foundations before “real training” begins — calm routines, handling tolerance, focus, and early structure.

$3,000
PROGRAM 2

Basic Obedience

The core skills for real life — leash manners, focus, impulse control, and reliability around everyday distractions.

$3,000
PROGRAM 3

Advanced Obedience

Higher reliability, longer duration work, stronger proofing, and calm performance in harder environments.

$3,000
PROGRAM 4

Service Dog Training

Public-access reliability and real-world behavior standards — including calm, controlled positioning (e.g., under the table in a restaurant), and neutrality around distractions.

$3,000
ADVANCED SPECIALTY

Diabetic Scent Training

After a dog has completed the training pathway above, diabetic scent training runs 12 weeks and is priced separately due to the specialized work, proofing, and consistency required.

$6,000
Pricing assumes the dog is stable, safe to handle, and ready for structured progression. If a dog needs additional foundation work first, we’ll recommend the right starting program.
