Elizabeth’s Story

"Recognizing your pet's limits and your own limits doesn't make you less of a groomer. It makes you a better one."

I have always liked grooming aggressive or scared dogs. Not because they are mean but because I want to change how that dog feels about grooming. I want him or her to not be terrified of something that should be relaxing and fun. When I get a frustrated owner who's worried about their pet because no groomer has been able to groom the pet, and I am the one who gets the job done safely, it always feels like a huge accomplishment.
