After my normal 2 hour commute from the 10 to the 405 to the 101 to the 134 I said to myself, “there has to be something more than this.” My name is Laurie and this is my story…ok, that would be a little long so I will just get to the point! While driving past the location where I adopted our two feline children Stinky & Squirt I realized my love for pets was stronger than my love for home furnishings (my previous career).

Paulina is our full time certified dog and cat groomer receiving her certification from the Nash Academy. The Nash Academy is long renowned for its training of some of the most sought-after and award winning pet care professionals in the world. Paulina is a dog behaviorist and continues to take steps to enhance her profession. 

Yes, she is a wonderful groomer with over 10 years of experience but what sets her apart from the rest is that Paulina takes the time to work with pets that need additional training or are known to have aggressive behavior.  This includes biting.  In less than 3 monthly visits we have seen her make a known fearful biter turn into a loving trusting pet. It is truly wonderful to see such skill, pride and passion in a very important profession.
