A  LITTLE  BACKGROUND
Picture



Dogs have always been a large part of my life and have become a passion of mine.  As I grew older my understanding and love for the canine pet grew with me.  I've always owned dogs.  The family dog when I was a child, and then my own dogs when I was on my own.

I was an Assistant Obedience trainer for 7 years.  That knowledge has led me to become very involved with dogs.  My own dog and I enjoy Obedience, Agility, and Rally O.  It gives us one on one time while learning and having fun.

I am a Certified Groomer through Animal Behavior College. I'm a member of the National Association of Professional Creative Groomers, Canadian Professional Pet Stylists  and the Ontario Dog Groomers Association.  In addition, I remain up to date in the grooming industry and business world through webinars, video, and print subscription, as well as travelling to seminars.

I look forward to working with you and your pet to get him/her accustomed to grooming in a calm, quiet "gentle hands grooming atmosphere", all the while making them look and feel their best.  After all, everyone deserves pampering, even your best fur friend.
