I've always had a gift working with animals, especially dogs.  Even when I was a small child my dream was to work with animals.  Through my career I trained as a groomer and found my calling.  I've found that dogs should be provided a safe, relaxing space to ensure that the grooming experience is soothing, not stressful.  This is accomplished by gentle touch and one on one time during the groom.  My goal is to provide such a space and promote healing and comfort rather than anxiety.
