Summary
Hi! I'm Elizabeth. I’ve had three years of hands-on bathing experience and started learning to groom my last year at that location. I’ve handled everything from teacup chihuahuas to labradoodles! Dog grooming runs in my family my great-grandmother opened her first shop (Classic Canine 1) back in 1980, which still serves many loyal customers of nearly forty years. I’m passionate about grooming and always willing to learn something new!
