- Mainly focusing on elderly, special needs or nervous dogs, but grooming all ages, sizes and energy levels. Patience and care are central to my work, some of these dogs have had bad grooming experiences, so a little tenderness and understanding goes a long way. It’s always rewarding when a pooch shows how thankful they are after a visit and are excited to see me for their next “spaw” day. I performed bathing, teeth brushing, blow out using a high velocity dryer, brushing, dematting, ear cleaning, nail trim/nail grinder (depending on dogs preference), hair trim, cut/buzz per customer specifications complete with hygiene trim.
