She also owns Bailey, a sweet Shepherd mix that loves to go for long walks in the woods. She returned to the grooming industry after taking some time off but found this was her passion. She specializes in dogs that have a fear of bathing, and can always get them to come around with a tender touch and interesting conversation.
