I\u2019ve always had a love for animals, so much that I wanted to make a career out of it. I went from working at a few vet clinics to going to school and learning more about the vet industry. Then I worked at a couple horse barns, and now I\u2019m at a grooming salon. There\u2019s never a dull moment when always being around animals, and I wouldn\u2019t want it any other way.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you have any interest in dog grooming before you started working at your dog grooming salon? What sparked your passion?<\/h3>\n<p>To be completely honest, becoming a dog groomer never crossed my mind when I started the job. I was a bather and was in charge of the doggie daycare. But being around the groomers and watching them take a dog that needed a little TLC and seeing how it all comes about, I was fascinated about learning more and being able to help dogs in that way as well. Most people don\u2019t get that we as groomers are helping their dogs. We might see abnormalities in the coat and skin before the owners are even aware, and that was a big part in why I wanted to start grooming.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;50&#8243;][nectar_image_comparison image_url=&#8221;7402&#8243; image_2_url=&#8221;7403&#8243;][\/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;][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; enable_animation=&#8221;true&#8221; animation=&#8221;fade-in&#8221; delay=&#8221;250&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>What\u2019s one thing that you wish someone had told you when you were just starting out?<\/h3>\n<p>That patience is key!

There will always be challenges but finishing each groom is rewarding in itself.<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s your best study tip for acing a dog grooming course?<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019m all about writing stuff down. If you think it\u2019s important, then it probably is, so write it down! Also, practicing all the technique with your scissors and clippers and playing around to figure out your tools will be very beneficial in the long run.<\/p>\n<h3>Did you have any misconceptions about earning your certification online? Did they change as you progressed through the course?<\/h3>\n<p>Not at all! I was excited that this course was self-pace study.
