Maren, the groomer, smiling as she brushes the ear of a small white curly dog on a blue grooming table

Hi, I'm Maren.

I've groomed dogs in Boise for fourteen years. I work on one dog at a time, and I keep you posted.

Here's what Maple's family got from me that day.

  1. Maple's here! She's a bit unsure, so we're going slow.

  2. Maple's ear, felted into one mat, with a burr and a dry leaf stuck in it

    Her ears are too matted to brush out. I'll clip them short. They'll grow back soft.

  3. Break time. She's sniffing around the yard.

  4. Maple after her groom, smiling, with a blue bandana

    All done! She was a star on the table. Come get her any time.

  5. Is that even the same dog?!

For dogs who hate the groomer.

Most scared dogs had one bad visit. So we set up our room to feel calm.

The grooming room at Good Dog: one grooming table, a walk-in tub with a ramp, a leather armchair in the corner, leashes on hooks and a jar of treats
  • One dog at a time.No one else in the room.
  • Breaks outside.As many as they need.
  • A walk-in tub.No lifting a scared dog.
  • You can stay.The corner chair is yours.
  • Free happy visits.Drop in for treats. No grooming.

No sedation. No force.

Too much for them? We stop and call you.

Fifteen minutes. Nothing to pay.

What owners say

Example reviews for this concept site.

“Moose used to shake the whole drive there. Now he drags me through the door.”
Dana R., with Moose, a goldendoodle

She showed me which mats were too tight to brush out, and why. No lecture, just a plan. Winnie came home looking like herself again.

I sat in the corner chair for Pickle's first visit. By the second one, I went for coffee.
