About
Laura started her business in 1995 with a mobile unit and traveled to clients homes and groomed their dogs in her van. I work by appointment and in most cases all dogs are completely finnished in 4 hours or less. As well as full service grooming, self service bathing is also available, no appointment is necessary.
Laura is an alumni of the Animal Behavior College. She spent almost 5 years as a volunteer trainer for the Joy's of Living Assistance Dogs and is currently offering private canine behavior consulting.

I really enjoy making pet dogs look and feel good. Grooming shops can be really fast pace places therefore they can also be extremely stressfull to the dog. The trainer in me really likes working with the dogs to get them to accept grooming as a positive experience (as much as possible)
