Dog Grooming

Why choose me as your dog's groomer?

Every time I groom a dog, my goal is to keep them calm, safe, and comfortable. Having background in dog training and behavior, I am able to teach dogs to be calm and tolerate grooming. I go at your dog's speed, never rushing them through the process or making them uncomfortable. 

Especially if you have a puppy, I can train and desensitize them to the grooming process. A perfect example would be Dennis, he is a Bernedoodle and I met him when he was only 4 months old. I rewarded his calm and good behavior, I went at his pace and made sure he was comfortable. Now he lays down to let me do anything I need to do: brush, comb, dremel his nails, etc. He stands calmly in the bath and is quiet and tolerant of the dryer. I can use dog training commands to have him sit, down, wait, stay still, etc. I'd love to create more calm dogs for grooming, because the truth and reality is- A LOT of dogs absolutely hate grooming. It's the lack of control over their body, not being properly desensitized to the loud noises, especially if in a salon setting and other dogs are anxious.

I was trained one on one by Coleen Lupo/Combs, where she went over safety, proper handling techniques, and of course how to properly prepare and cut a dog's hair for grooming. I also have an AKC S.A.F.E. certificate that that certifies I am a groomer of Safety, Assurance, Fundamentals, and Education.
