Student services & introductory pricing
Real care for your dog, while I build my skills.
As I complete the practical portion of my professional dog grooming studies through QC Pet Studies, I am currently accepting a limited number of dogs for hands-on practical grooming experience at special introductory rates. Your dog's comfort and safety come first — I will only perform services appropriate for my current level of training.
Introductory pricing reflects my student status. Full grooming services and updated pricing are planned for November 16, 2026.
Best value
Student Grooming Package
The best value for a complete student grooming experience. Includes bath, blow dry, brush-out, nail trim, ear cleaning, and paw tidy — everything I am currently trained and permitted to perform.
- Bath with coat-appropriate shampoo
- Full blow dry
- Thorough brush-out
- Nail trim
- Ear cleaning
- Paw & pad tidy
Student pricing reflects my current stage of practical training. Final pricing depends on your dog's size, coat type, coat condition, and time required. Light dematting is performed only when it can be done comfortably and safely.

How student pricing works
01
Introductory rates
Prices reflect my student status and are offered as a thank-you to clients who support my practical training. Rates will update when I open fully in November.
02
Your dog's needs come first
I will only perform services that are appropriate for my current training level and your dog's individual temperament, coat, and comfort.
03
Honest communication always
If I think your dog needs something outside my current scope, I will tell you plainly and we will find the right path forward together.
