About Carla’s Pet Grooming
Attended New York School of Dog Grooming earning my first certificate in Dec 1994.
Experience
When grooming in various salons, a veterinary hospital and a kennel,
I had several customers ask me to visit their
homes for pets who could not travel. Either the owner didn't drive
or the dog had special health/temperament needs not easily met in a salon.
Many others had businesses
in their home and were not free to leave home in the morning to drop off their
pet. Many simply could not
bring themselves to leave their precious pup with someone else for a few hours.
Wondering if it was possible to deliver top quality grooming service to these
folks in a home situation, I discovered that most breeds are easily groomed in
surroundings familiar to them.
Continuing Education
is a priority of mine and I still welcome the opportunity to learn from colleagues as well as attendance at formal seminars/workshops:
Intergroom
Groom Expo
AKC events such as the Westminster Dog Show
Old York Road Dog Training Club
The clipping of
specific breeds, handling of aggressive or timid pets and best practices for
safety are all topics I have pursued on a continuing basis.
