Step-by-Step Guide to a Spa Day Success:

Step 1: Getting Started

  • Gather all necessary items: premium shampoo, conditioner, towels, treats, and a brush.

  • Ensure the Self-Service Dog Washing Station is clean and ready for use. (We will take care of this for you!)

  • Have treats nearby to reward good behavior.

Step 2: Introducing Your Pup to the Station

  • Allow your dog to explore the station before bath time.

  • Offer treats and positive reinforcement to create a positive association.

  • Tip: If bath time is a stressful endeavor for your pet, repeated trips to Braxton's wash station without actually bathing can help build a health emotional response to the space.

Step 3: Preparing for the Bath

  • Brush your dog to remove loose fur and tangles.

  • Tip: Removing hair before starting the wash speeds up the washing process and drying.

  • Place a non-slip mat in the tub to keep your pup secure.

Step 4: Wetting Your Dog

  • Use the adjustable hose to wet your dog thoroughly, starting from the neck down.

  • Speak in soothing tones to keep your dog calm.

  • Tip: We have had customers bring calming music with them to help build a relaxing routine for their pet.

Step 5: Applying Shampoo and Massage

  • Use a high-quality, pet-friendly shampoo. (We have that for you!)

  • Gently massage the shampoo into your dog's coat, enjoying the spa-like experience.

Step 6: Rinsing

  • Thoroughly rinse your dog, ensuring all soap is washed away.

  • Take your time to make sure your dog is comfortable with the water.

Step 7: Dry, Treats, Repeat

  • Towel dry your pup, being mindful of their ears and paws.

  • Important Warning: When using the air dryer, never blow it directly into your dog's ears, eyes, or at their genitals. Maintain a safe distance to ensure a comfortable and stress-free drying experience.

  • Offer treats and praise for a job well done.

Step 8: Post-Bath Fun

  • Allow your dog to shake off excess water and revel in their post-bath joy.

  • Spend some quality time playing or cuddling to reinforce positive associations.

  • Tip: shopping for their favorite treat for an immediate reward helps reinforce good behavior.
