I adopted my reactive dog, Dixie, in 2022. I pride myself on training dogs to enjoy grooming. Owning a reactive dog has introduced me to techniques and a different way of thinking that transfers into my work.

Biography

Welcome to my page! My name is Samantha, and I have been working with dogs since 2022. I started my journey at Petco as a bather and became inspired to pursue a career in grooming.

​

After moving to Chicago, I obtained a job in Schiller Park, Illinois. In May 2023, I attended a grooming academy program with the company in California. Students were taught proper technique for clipping and scissoring, how to safely handle tools as well as breed standard haircuts.

​

In order to further my education, I took an opportunity to work under two groomers who share 50+ years of experience at the end of 2023. Here, I expanded my knowledge of breed cuts, refined clipping and scissoring techniques, and grew my confidence as a groomer.

​

I love grooming because there is always something new to learn. I have always claimed to be a "forever learner" which I believe is essential in this field.
