I love animals, especially dogs and cats. This love and adoration has evolved into studying and working with domestic animals. I have been training German Shepards since I was 15 years old. Training my shepards taught me a varitey of teaching methods. Supporting rescue organizations has become very significant to me. I respect that each pet has a unique past and personality. The differences in disposition determines a lot of my grooming techniqes. Rescue animals like my Great Dane for instance has shown me the importance of slow, gentle, positive training. I hope to have fun with every pet and believe the pet should have fun too. The most important aspect of grooming is caution. The safety of the pet means a safe grooming experience for the pet and the groomer.
