Expertise

I can assist owners who would like to clip their own pets by recommending the essential tools. I can offer tips on hand-stripping terriers; cruelty-free products; how to select a qualified groomer and when to switch groomers if the the situation arises. I can help with the canine diet, as itchy skin, incessant chewing on paws and legs and repeated ear infections are nearly always diet related.

Experience in the area

I graduated in 1988 from The Colorado School of Dog Grooming. Prior to that, I worked as a veterinary assistant for several years. I have managed grooming shops; owned a shop and operated a mobile grooming van. I currently own and operate a business where I train, groom, pet sit and walk dogs.

Education/Credentials

Graduate of Colorado School Of Dog Grooming with dual certificates in All Breed Grooming and Kennel Management.

Hi Joe, I understand your frustration! It sounds like He may be a little spoiled. It would be one thing if it were just a matter of him fighting the clipper noise, but that you also can't clean his ears

Hi Kathy, Before you turn on the dryer, pet them with it and talk soothingly to them. After "petting" them with the dryer (do several short sessions over a week), turn on the low setting and start
