Why did you choose dog grooming as a career?
I chose dog grooming as my career because I knew I always wanted to work with animals. I started working as a dog bather and watched groomers perform haircuts and realized that’s what I want to do. I wanted to make dogs look super cute and make them feel great along with making the owners overjoyed.
What did you enjoy most during your coursework?
I enjoyed the challenges I faced having to work with different kinds of dogs. When I’m doing a difficult task for the first time it just makes the next time a whole lot easier for me to handle.
Where can we see your work?
You can see my work on my personal Facebook page!
What are your future goals?
I would like to attend a professional groom show to see how those groomers make dogs look so perfect.
Any advice for aspiring groomers?
Don’t give up no matter how hard it gets. Once you get over the biggest obstacles you will fly right through. It’s such a wonderful career to get into and you will be really happy working with animals.
