I can answer pretty much anything related to the dog and cat grooming process. This includes specific question about any part of the grooming process, home how to do its, grooming behavior issues, how to find and keep a good groomer etc. I specialize in dealing with behavior issue pets and handicapped pets. I thrive on the challeng of figuring these guys out and finding was to make the grooming process as pleasant as possible for them. I like to experiment with new technique but I also rely on "tried and true" technique. I have experience with hand stripping, show grooming Brittany Spaniels, Bichon Fise, Cocker Spaniels, Chow Chow's and all 3 varieties of Dachshunds. I have always groomed without a breed predjudice and look for the good in every dog. I am seldom disappointed! | |

I can answer all questions about proper grooming for dogs and cats. I am familiar with the proper needs of different coat types (Terrier vs Poodle, etc) and how to get the best outcome from your groomer. I work in a vet's office so I get to see firsthand what skin and coat issues translate into from a vet's standpoint and have become experienced in learning what certain fungus, allergies, etc look like. I can also explain behavioral questions as I have dog behavior background and agility training experience. | |
