As a young child I was always out feeding, petting and caring for all the stray dogs in my neighborhood and everywhere I would happen to find myself I was always on the lookout for them. When time came to find a career for myself at the age of 19 it was a no brainer for me to go to school and become a groomer. My school “Las Vegas Grooming School” was one of the best in the state and my teachers E
mily and Roy Mule were some of the most talented groomers I have seen in my 31 year career. I loved grooming so much that I graduated earlier than expected as I would stay longer hours and volunteer for the difficult clients (doggie clients) all the time. Since then I have worked in three different countries multiple states in the USA and in all possible grooming situations. For example I have groomed in clients homes, bathrooms, living rooms, balconies and my favorite kitchen counters. At veterinary establishments, small grooming salons, large grooming salons, pet chain establishments and corporate companies. All these years there Isn’t a grooming scenario that I haven’t seen, have heard all kinds of requests that may have sounded funny at the time but in retrospect so valuable experience wise! I have dealt with super difficult dogs who fought teeth and nails to not be groomed and the most deliciously sweet doggies to have captured my heart. Having worked next to many vets I have learned to diagnose minor issues that throughout the years have helped me many a times to inform pet parents of conditions that may affect their doggies/ kitties in the long run. And can treat very small wounds and skin rashes with medications I would use on my own children (mostly natural and organic). I am always on the lookout for new tools that would assist in my craft and make grooming easier and effortless for myself and the doggie/kitty. Grooming in itself should never hurt in any way and I firmly believe the first couple of grooms in the young life of an animal are crucial, for they will mark and determine the future grooming behavior and willingness of your furry child.
