Kenna has been grooming for over 20 years working in salons across NY, Texas & California. Her specialty is working with overly anxious rescues.
After many years in the business she began to question the fast paced grooming model along with the typical set up and everyday environment of salons.
Often overbooked, commonly rushed and always loud, grooming salons never allot proper time dogs deserve while the background environment is always hectic.
Busy groomers don’t have the capacity to observe signs for stress properly and there is never enough time allotted for genuine connection or trust with dog and groomer.
It is not uncommon for groomers to force instead of gently allowing causing anxiety, distrust and an overall bad experience that is never forgotten.
Kenna works with the dog’s current comfort level to gain trust. Overtime this trust brings a feeling of safety and cooperation.
The intention is to make grooming days soothing and enjoyable.
