Pet care experience
I've owned pets and been around animals my entire life. I've always loved being around animals. I worked as a dog groomer for a little over 5 years, and I loved it. Grooming taught me how to identify certain skin conditions a pup may have. Grooming also taught me how to handle nervous pups or pups with separation anxiety. I learned a lot about dog behavior just from being a groomer. I've studied animal behavior, canine management and spent some hours interning at Inland Valley Humane Society while I was in school. There is no specific breed, let alone any animal, that frightens me or makes me uncomfortable; in other words, I comfortable with handling all types of pups. I'm currently a student, so I have lots of free time and attention to spend on your pup.
Reviews
I would bring my wheaten terrier, Ellie, to Katie for grooming every third friday for a bath and trim. Ellie had separation anxiety and didn't do so well with previous groomers. Katie made sure to understand ellie and her issue. She created a specific game plan to groom Ellie, in which she'd groom her straight through without putting her in a kennel. Katie focused her attention solely on Ellie, and she'd call me as soon as she was ready. She'd even sit with her in the lobby waiting for me to come get her. Katie made sure we were taken care of and I knew my ellie was in great hands.
