Groomer

Back in May 2004, I decided let’s see if I can work at a grooming and boarding facility. I went in and asked and within a week I was a bather, it was neat to see all the different kinds of dogs and sometimes cats. I bathed and also helped as a kennel attendant but one day I asked if I can learn to be a groomer and they said yes. In 2007 I began grooming, the first dogs I practiced were the cocker spaniel and miniature schnauzer. Back then breed cuts were essential to pet owners, a very good learning process. In mid-2009 I moved to south Florida to help friends. Good thing I knew how to groom because I was able to get a dog grooming job. First I got into an animal hospital that wasn’t helping to provide for a living so I found a grooming/daycare/boarding facility and I locked in. During my time there I saw a unique large breed the Briard. That was a highlight, such beautiful dogs. But then it was time to say goodbye to Florida and come back home to California to help care for my mom. Worked at three shops before arriving at Anaheim Hills Pet Clinic!
