Melissa’s Story

Remember, it's not about you

"I've learned that time and patience can go a long way, but not every dog is going to look perfect and that's okay. The important thing is that the dog has a good grooming experience."

Working with naughty dogs is my passion. When someone has a dog that is difficult to work with, I will try to correct their behavior over time and gain their trust. A Shih Tzu came to me that had never let its previous groomers clean out his eye corners. He would bite to keep it from happening. It took many sessions, but now he lets me clean his eye corners out completely with no trouble at all. The first time his mom saw his bright eyes, she started to cry.
