My name is Kerri and I have been grooming dogs since 2019. After working in various grooming salons and seeing how stressed and anxious dogs were during grooming, I decided to open my own business and do things a lot differently. Each dog deserves to be treated with kindness and respect and I cater to each individual dog's needs. Dogs learn to trust me and feel safe in my care.
Dogs have always been a part of my life—from pet sitting and dog training to K9 Search and Rescue and working in a doggy daycare. Each of these experiences helped shape my understanding of canine learning and behavior, and inspired me to create a kinder, more respectful approach to grooming that puts the dog’s well-being first.
I specialize in working with dogs who have difficulties with grooming. I teach dogs to be calm, comfortable and cooperative for a lifetime of their care needs. I follow L.I.M.A. and the Humane Hierarchy standards set by the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. I take a history, do Functional Behavior Assessment and make a Behavior Modification plan to help your dog. Check out Master Groomer Behavior Specialist for more information.
