Summary
I am a dedicated dog groomer with expertise in grooming techniques and animal handling, currently employed at Anderson's Pet Grooming in South Salem New York. I've been in the dog grooming field for 6 years and haircutting for 2. It is always my highest priority to make sure the dogs and their owners feel safe, as it can be stressful for both of them in any new environment. I received my dog grooming license/certificate from an online course through QC pet studies located in Canada. I have two female hound mixes of my own who go to work with me every day. I'm always looking for ways to improve my work and learn as much about dogs as I can when given the opportunity.
