FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
My partner, Myrtle has always been a dog groomer. I got into it because of the recession. I had been a corporate interior design, (designing offices) for over twenty five years, but was laid off shortly after moving to Asheville. I wanted a profession that I had a passion for and since I love dogs, it seemed like a perfect solution. I took a 12 week course in South Carolina to learn how to groom.
