Welcome Dog Friends!
We have 'retired' to the Low Country - to Beaufort South Carolina from Cookeville, Tennessee. My life was immersed in my Mini Schnauzers in breeding and raising the best puppies I could offer. Moving here I want to continue working with lil dogs by offering my grooming skills that I honed working on my own dogs and puppies over the years.
Grooming...
Grooming one dog at a time from my home salon overlooking the Spanish Moss Trail. Yes, many of my customers are Mini Schnauzers, but other small breeds are welcome. I have experience with Yorkies, Shih Tzus, Pomeranians, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, terriers and more. Please no dogs over 20lbs. We do not use cage-dryers here and your dog will not be crated,
I specialize in acclimating puppies to the grooming process. The sooner they are started, the better. I use a gentle reward-based approach, starting with short appointments working up to longer times that adult dogs need to learn to be still for. Owners are welcome to stay for any appointment as I am happy to show you how to your maintain your dog in between grooming's. We are a team!
​
My goal is that your dog looks forward to grooming. Please regularly comb your non shedding dog as this will help them accept grooming and help them not to get matted. Combing is the best prevention against matts. Make it fun with treats and praise. They will not love it at first, but like combing your own hair, it has to get done.
​
Regular grooms for your non-shedding dog are vital to their cleanliness and health. Grooming your dog on a recommended schedule based on their coat, age and health will help them from becoming matted and prevent problems.
Call with questions or to schedule an appointment. First appointment is a 10 minute assessment to see if I can safely handle your dog. Then we can schedule a groom. If your dog is not approachable or shows aggression, I will not be able to help.
