Hello!

My name is Mikayla and I am the proud owner and founder of Peachy Paws. Since I was young I knew I wanted to work with dogs, so I began dog walking and training (basic obedience) before and after work. In 2018, I adopted my first fur baby, Missie (pictured). Once she was in my life I was determined to get into a career where I could spend most days with her and other dogs. After a bit of research I proceeded to go do a month long intensive dog grooming course in Melbourne and instantly fell in love with the art and skill behind dog grooming, it is far from just washing dogs! 

 

With formal qualifications, I regularly update myself in new training to enhance my skills and techniques throughout this forever progressing industry as I am passionate about what I do. I have built Peachy Paws with all pups in mind, however, I am now specialising in cooperative care based grooming and work more with anxious dogs who need that little extra time and care. I work to build the dogs confidence around being groomed, focusing on consent based techniques and desensitisation training. 

 

I am also a big advocate for R+ training and I am always incorporating these methods to the grooming side of my business where possible, giving all dogs a gentle and low stress experience. I will always work to make sure that these dogs feel safe and happy while in my care. Dogs are forever communicating with us and all dogs deserve to be seen and heard.
