At Spitz Groom, we use our own personalised Stress Scale, inspired by the Fear Free® approach to recognising Fear, Anxiety and Stress (FAS) in dogs. This scale helps us carefully read each dog’s emotional state during grooming, so we can respond early, adjust our handling, and prioritise comfort at every step. Our goal is to keep dogs within the calm, learning-focused range of 0–3 wherever possible, while recognising and respecting when a dog is becoming overwhelmed. This approach ensures grooming remains as gentle, safe, and positive as possible, always balancing wellbeing with essential care needs.
