FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each pet is priced based on their breed, size, needs and the amount of time it will take. We do not negotiate prices. Cats are $100. Matting and Fleas have additional Fees. Dog training is conducted in 30 minute sessions, $50/session, we will work on general obedience such as leash heal and leash patrol, sit, stay, come, lay down, off, leave it, stay back, off limit zones (kitchen etc). I am not taking new dog grooming clients, as a point of reference, a toy breed such as a Chihuahua starts at $60, Toy Breeds with Haircuts start $75, and it goes up from there.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an AKC Professional Airedale Terrier Breeder and Perform AKC Show Breed grooming for Terriers, I am fully certified as a Basic and Advanced Professional Groomer and Partially certified as a Master Groomer with International Professional Pet Groomers. I go to grooming expos and research every pet breed before grooming to make sure I am up to date on new trends, techniques or recommendations.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I groomed privately as a hobby for 12 years and it seemed natural to step into it full time after retiring from the Army.
