As a kid, I was always obsessed with animals. We had two Jack Russells growing up as well as farm cats and bunnies\u2014I was always with them. As I got older, my love for animals grew stronger, especially my love for dogs. So I decided I was going to take a chance and move out of my hometown to Regina, Saskatchewan and pursue a career with dogs.<\/p>\n<h3>How did you know you wanted to become a dog groomer full-time?<\/h3>\n<p>I started as an attendant as a doggy daycare and spa. I was always interested in dog grooming. I loved the idea of working with a dog one-on-one to make them look and feel their best. Once a dog grooming position opened up in the salon, I jumped on the opportunity. I asked my boss if I could go to dog grooming school and become their next dog groomer. She agreed, and I started my dog groomer training right away. As I went through my schooling, I became hooked on grooming and learning more and more every day.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;10375&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>What\u2019s your favorite dog breed to groom?<\/h3>\n<p>My favorite dog would have to be the Chow Chow.

I also picked up good grooming habits.<\/p>\n<p>They have helped me grow as a professional dog groomer.
