I love this job!!
So I didn’t always know I wanted to groom dogs. I knew I loved dogs and loved being around dogs, but for years I was just a dog owner. Well, after 10 years of commuting to Woburn for a job I really didn’t like, I got laid off. It was the best thing that could have happened!
I started working for Barbara at Manilow’s Doggie Daycare and when the owner of Canine Cuts, Grace, needed some holiday help I was more than happy to help her out. Eventually, Grace started teaching me other aspects of dog grooming and at the same time I enrolled at Animal Behavioral College in their grooming program.
Over the next several years I learned as much as I could and I realized that this was the first job I actually loved. I loved working with the dogs one on one. I loved seeing the transformation as I was grooming a dog. Yes, it’s a lot of work and at times very, very dirty, but I love it!
When Grace decided she wanted to sell the business, I jumped at the opportunity. It was a big decision, but one I knew I needed to take. The existing base of customers has been so welcoming and I am always looking for new customers. I feel that I offer professional grooming in a happy environment at a very reasonable price. I enjoy grooming dogs of all sizes and really enjoy a challenge. I always aim to make the dogs I groom feel as comfortable as possible with their grooming experience so it is not something to be feared, but rather a normal part of their everyday life.
