Whether your bachha is a senior, a rescue Indie, or simply anxious about grooming, I take the time to build trust before picking up any tools. ## Photos and videos - [Video: This is Jimmy, a 14-year-old senior Indie dog from our neighborhood. She had several skin and eye infections, so we gave her a gentle medicated bath and grooming to help her feel more comfortable. Senior street dogs need our love and care the most.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/960e064d-c56a-4b1f-85c9-b4b79be0c6cc) - [Video: This is Wags, a brave 14-year-old Labrador who is recovering from a tumor removal surgery.

If your dog is scared, senior, or recovering from medical issues like skin infections or surgery, I don't rush. I sit with them on the floor, use gentle, medicated products, and move entirely at their pace so they leave feeling safe and loved, not stressed. I believe that for many dogs, the grooming table can be a scary place. My approach at Second Home is built on one simple rule: patience first, grooming second. I do not rush. If a dog is nervous, I don't force them into a crate or onto a high table immediately. We take the time to let them sniff, walk around, and realize that I am a friend, not a threat. ### Why 'Special' Pups Need a Different Approach * **Senior Care:** Just like 14-year-old Jimmy, my senior clients often have joint pain or sensitive skin. I use floor-grooming techniques to keep them comfortable and avoid putting stress on their bodies. * **Recovery Support:** Dogs like Wags, who recently underwent surgery, need careful handling. I ensure that no pressure is put on healing areas, using only mild, pet-safe products that won't irritate sensitive skin. * **The Indie Spirit:** I have a deep respect for our local Indie dogs. They are intelligent and disciplined, but they often haven't had positive grooming experiences. I use this session to show them that being handled can be a positive, relaxing experience. * **Medicated & Therapeutic:** For dogs dealing with infections, matting, or severe shedding, I offer therapeutic baths that go beyond surface cleaning. This helps soothe irritated skin and provides genuine relief, not just a cosmetic fix. If you have a 'touchy' dog or one that has had a bad experience elsewhere, please talk to me beforehand. I have worked with dogs that others refused to handle because I am willing to go slow and earn their trust. ## About Second Home Hello dosto, I am Prakash. I don't just groom dogs; I care for them like my own family, focusing on patience above everything else. My studio is a cage-free space where even the most nervous, senior, or 'touchy' dogs learn to trust again during their spa session.
